V was listening to one of her songs called midnight blues during one of his lives. Then she posted how shocked and happy she was. And the rest is history. 💜

[@clbert7460]

An amazing collaboration! ❤

[@lilyLovesStories]

Aww, that's so sweet. Since she was happy about that, imagine how she felt when he reached out to her to do a collab.

[@debbiezaler1784]

That’s so awesome! This was so beautiful and they blended so amazing together. I would be shocked too if V was hearing my music on a live lol he made her dream come true! I know it would be my dream come true just to be in the same room with V 💜🫰🏻

[@IntotheBangtanUniverseWormhole]

Thanks for explaining that! It makes total sense that V would find and introduce us to an artist many of us didn't know about. And now, thanks to him, she's going to get the recognition she deserves. What a tender, perfect collaboration!

[@rubbingminds]

​@@lilyLovesStoriesNo,she said it on her chart that she reached out to V and even sent some songs to him but was not sure if he will Collab until he picked one of the songs he liked and they now worked on it.

[@soniacruz8407]

Umi did a IG live for the release of the song and explained how the collab happened from her side. She also talked about the recording, mixing and producing. It seems the initial contact and collab happened in 1 month without involvement of labels. Then Tae recorded various takes and send to Umi for mixing and producing the song. He told Umi he trusted her decisions. She is very sweet and said the song collab was born out mutual admiration and appreciation of each others music.

[@KitterCatter]

Such a beautiful song. Just V’s reminder to ARMYs that we never walk alone and even on his birthday, although he's in the military, he still with us💜🥳💜🎂💜🎉

[@Vitae0534]

V featured her in his IG stories. You know how V appreciates and supports other musicians, esp those who are underrated. Umi appreciated it and reached out to him. That’s how it started.

[@maryr1905]

He has good taste! She has a beautiful voice and the song is great.

[@ajiluna]

Taehyung was listening to Umi's song on Vlive, Umi learnt about it and thanked Taehyung for introducing her song, then Taehyung sent Umi a DM and then a suggestion for a collaboration was sent, Umi sent a few songs and Taehyung chose this song.

[@tytrack95]

UMI confirmed live that she's the one who reached out to V in his dms after her mom told her to do it and then Taehyung responded. The rest is history :))

[@0.0TK]

Kim Taehyung’s voice in “wherever u r” flows like velvet, a smooth and luxurious cascade that wraps around us in a comforting embrace.❤❤❤❤

[@bt6248]

You're right, Blaze, V's velvet voice has healing properties. He knows how to sing a love song. Not too hot, not too cold, but mmmmm--mmmm good. Just right. His harmony with Umi's lovely voice is just 🤌.

[@shireenedoo1978]

It was very gracious of Umi to drop the song on V's birthday .. their voices blend so well together .. Nico I loved when you said it would be nice if we heard them singing together and there it was .. Happiest Birthday to V making us proud already in the military .. Apobangpo everybody and Happy new Year as well .. best wishes for the new year🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜 loving the song a lot 🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜

[@anneprendergast7834]

V has an amazing voice, and he blends so well with female singers. I U mentioned it when she sang with him on her show.

[@a.a.4035]

Umi: When V left (for military) he thought about Army and all supporters. His team and my team worked hard it was very hard labor to push the song to be released on his birthday as a gift for all those who appreciate and listen to his music Umi: Me being a fan of Tae and Tae being a fan of me is how this song started. Like it’s so organic. There were no labels, no companies involved in the creation of this song. It was simply two people who appreciated each other’s music These are Umi's statements, Taehyung had been sharing Umi's songs for a long time and then Umi covered Taehyung's songs and they talked over DM and sent songs to each other and decided on this collab. Umi wrote the song for her grandmother and Taehyung wrote his own part as a gift to ARMY while he was in the military.This is such a meaningful and sweet collab💜

[@EverRoxas]

V Ron credited in the lyrics isn't V...

[@a.a.4035]

Why do you write this under every comment are you stupid or what you can see it clearly on spotify v-ron and v credited in the lyrics

[@arundhatimohanty6125]

V's taste in music is great. His v's drive vlog introduced me to quite a few artists and now this.

[@Vitae0534]

According to Umi, this is a very organic collab. No companies involved.

She is best known for her 2018 song "Remember Me", which has over 140 million streams on Spotify. Wilson was born in Seattle in 1999 to an African-American father and a Japanese mother. Her mother taught her how to read, write, and speak Japanese. Wilson's mother plays piano and her father plays the drums. UMI started writing music when she was 4 or 5, with a songwriting journal.

[@btsnoona_]

Thank you!

[@DanteOokami]

I love this collab. Their voices just meld together so well. Also, um, at 2:27 - that's actually Japanese. She's bilingual. V's bit had all 3 languages.

[@mca929]

Yes was about to say the same. She said the song was about her grandmother in Japan whom she doesn’t get to see much. So this song is reflective of that but can easily be relatable to anyone you’re missing. I had to hug my mom after I heard the song. Unfortunately my grandparents and father are no longer here…

[@DanteOokami]

@mca929 I remember her saying that, and I thought it was such a fitting song and angle for V, given how much he loved/loves his grandmother.

[@0.0TK]

🎉 Happy Birthday to the ethereal #V, our precious Taehyung! 🎂🐯

[@Junggooki]

Kim Taehyung’s voice is like molten dark hot chocolate that warms up your soul on a chilly winter day & he has writing credits. The way he worked with an independent queer artist on such a soulful song. Tae, everyday my admiration & respect grows tenfolds for you. Keep shining💜

[@rapperthv]

The behind story of this song is so adorable, umi loves bts since she was in middle school, and taehyung supports indie artists bcs he loves many different genres of music and he's been supportive of umi's music too so one day umi was hiking with her mother and she saw tae posted a song of her on his ig so she told her mom abt it and she encouraged her to dm him and she did! Lol she said i typed everything abt that we should collab and all in one paragraph and just threw my phone 🤣 and than he responded soon, i have collaborated with other artists too but with him it was like no time waste and he just shared snippets and said umi peace out i trust you lol😭 and than i shared my snippets and in just 1 month we made it bcs he wanted to give it to you guys on hos birthday 🫶🏻

[@natoviemcghee4196]

Umi did a cover of one of V's songs because she loved it. He saw it, checked out her music and posted it on his insta. A mutual admiration society was formed! Individually their voices are beautiful, together their magical. V turned me in to Umi and Catious Clay, the flutist on Slow Dancing.

Taehyung is so humble to collab with someone not as famous as him, he killed it, his voice is perfect, and their voices made a really beautiful mix

[@eVi98Hellothere]

Taehyung is not a normal idol. The path he chose to take with his music is so different than we expected. He could choose a popular artist because it's V we are talking about, but he collabed with an indie singer out of nowhere. ONLY V CAN DO THIS👏 ***STOP...How did you make a cute comment a reason to hate and insult V, JIMIN and other fans. RM was right you have changed or you are just immature kids***

[@soniacruz8407]

All BTS members can do quick collab with any indie artist they like from any genre. But yes, Taehyung likes music that is sentimental and romantic and leans towards soulful R&B ballads more than mainstream pop ballads

Hi, Tae has shared music of Umi's on Instagram stories before. Umi did an IG live and said they were mutual admirers but she had been too shy to reach out for a couple years until her mom talked her into it and she reached out on IG and thanked him. She ended up sending him some songs to listen to and it all came together really quickly and she didn't even know about him going to serve in the military. Then she wondered if it would ever get released. Tae trusted her to do the rest and here we are with this beautiful gift. I wish it was longer but I'll just play it on repeat. Spotify added this to a Chill Pop list and also a Make Out list.

[@kimleeclau7529]

Tae´s voice is so amazingly beautiful every day song after song, it getting priceless

[@sthanad20]

I love the song. I wish it was longer. Songs are so short nowadays lol, like just give me a pre chorus and maybe a bridge! but I do understand it was a song made under some time constraint like since October I believe. With whatever limited time they had, they did great, especially tae, he had so much to do prior to enlisting. Umi sounds beautiful but man, taes voice is just honey! Loved his part of the song, especially when he was humming. Love how he does what he likes, doesn’t matter if it’s mainstream or with indie artists.

[@btsnoona_]

I love your reaction, I was feeling the same way I could use another 30 seconds... This was lovely, the collab was perfection. 🫶🏻

[@maciedenny9333]

V has shared her music with ARMY before and she was super shocked and happy. She said that she thought she'd take a shot and send him a message and she was shocked when he answered, they started talking sporadically and this just came about. It's so pretty.

[@cdgmaia]

What a magic moment. My ears are pleased so much

[@clbert7460]

It could be a love letter to ARMY….such an incredibly beautiful song. Their voices were perfect together…It evokes such emotion❤❤❤

[@sc0ttishlass]

Taehyung litened to one of her songs on one of his weverse lives, and then also rec'ed another song on his IG stories. When UMI heard about it, she reached out to him via DM and she said in a live she did yesterday that they clicked and did this song, without companies, just the two of them and some friends. Both wrote the song together. The song has now reached #1 on iTunes in ca. 80 countries, among them the big 5 music markets, US, Japan, UK, Germany, France.

I love that he sang with a smaller indie artist that isn't someone everyone knows. To me it is a great tribute to BTS being that small unknown artist... and as a huge lover of music it makes sense for V to do.. he has played her songs before during lives. I have been waiting for him to collab with a female for so long and this song didn't disappoint. They sounded beautiful together. The song was a little short but I think they really were up against time as well to get it done to be released in time for his birthday and before he enlisted.

"Wherever u r'' really so beautiful and this gift Taehyung (V) birthday and V is romantic person his voice deep and soulfull 💜

[@Kitty-vt5putvr]

This was honestly such a beautiful song. It was more than what I could have wanted or wished for. A truly magical harmony by UMI and Tae. They did sound angelic as Blaze said. What I also love is how UMI mentioned in her live today how organically this collab came about between two artists without any company involvement etc from either side… that they were first fans of each others music. (Tae shared her songs in a live, she saw that was so grateful and reciprocated by covering Love Me Again and Slow Dancing, which Tae saw and shared the love again) UMI was also so lovely in sharing some anecdotes the last few days… she said that Tae has such a deep and genuine soul and is really a kind person which of course as ARMY we all know but it’s always beautiful to hear other artists pick up on too and praise our boys. I also agree it’s so lovely being introduced to new smaller indie artists through the boys. UMI mentioned that this song was created with the thought of love of different kinds. She started with the thought of her grandma that lives far away in Japan whom she doesn’t get to see or talk to often. Tae is also credited as a writer of his part. In the k-media press release they said that it's about the love of someone far away, and also had Tae's message to ARMY: 'That I'm looking forward to meeting you all. I hope you enjoy listening to it. And that UMI said 'Wherever u r is a song that a loved one conveys to everyone in different times and places. It's a song that reminds me that love is a frequency that can be felt regardless of distance. Please send me love!’ For me this collab deserves a lot of love, it’s so dreamy, healing, comforting and nostalgic and hopeful all at the same time. I think it's so extra special that this gift to us came out on Tae's birthday. Every year for as long as I can remember Tae has gifted ARMY on his birthday. Truly a special human being with a big heart. Thanks for this really lovely reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@maytay4702]

This song carries so much meaning for both of them. I love it when an artist puts out a song that speaks his/her heart. Umi singing about her missing her grandma (who is residing in Japan). Tae gifting this to ARMY. So authentic. A tenderly beautiful song that is classy and not overdone. Rich vocal tones that feel like a warm hug. Well done! We miss you Tae!
