Songfacts®:

  • Sung entirely in English, "Running Wild" is a breathless pursuit of love and hope as Jin reminds us that true happiness comes not from what we have but who we connect with.

    Jin told Billboard, "With 'Running Wild,' I wanted to create a track full of energy. I hope it inspires people to keep moving forward - whether that means running, working out or just pushing themselves to overcome a challenge."
  • The song was crafted by trio of UK songwriters. Their collaboration blends K-pop sensibilities with British new wave and rock influences.

    Gary Barlow is a member of and the principal songwriter of the British pop band Take That.

    Josh Record is a songwriter whose credits include Ella Henderson's "Yours" and Tiesto's "Nothing Really Matters."

    Jacob Attwooll is a London-based writer/producer and multi-instrumentalist with work across multiple genres. He has cuts with ENHYPEN, Tomorrow X Together, Raye, Olly Murs and Craig David.
  • Jin recorded "Running Wild" for Happy, his first solo mini-album. Across six tracks, he takes listeners on a heartfelt expedition to uncover what it really means to be happy, all while tapping into universal truths about joy, resilience, and connection.
  • The cinematic "Running Wild" video shows Jin finding comfort and warmth with his dog amid apocalyptic chaos, ultimately escaping a meteor shower.
  • For those craving more, Jin dropped "Running Wild (Remixes)" on November 19, 2024. This collection offers eight flavors of the song, including an instrumental, a band version, an extended version, a heartfelt ballad remix, and even a festive holiday spin. There's something for everyone, whether you're into Afropop beats or the cool, bouncy vibes of a UK Garage mix.
