The album contains 11 English language-based songs.
 
Big Hit, the agency of BTS, released Golden on November 3. "Standing Next To You," the title track of the album was produced by Andrew Watt and Canadian producer Cirkut.

Jungkook is the sixth member of BTS to make his solo debut after J-Hope, Jin, RM, Jimin, and Suga.
