On December 30, fans celebrated the third anniversary of Jimin's first-ever self-composed song, 'Promise,' which he released on Soundcloud and termed as his first present to the fans. It is a song in which Jimin poured his whole heart into, putting in lots of effort to make it a song that would touch the hearts of as many people as possible, people who may need to hear the message contained in the song.
Can't believe it's really been 3 whole years..

It feels like yesterday when we got this beautiful surprise.#3YearsWithPromise#약속3주년축하해

While speaking of the song's composition, Jimin enunciated that he had hoped to bring comfort to any individual who may be suffering in silence, wallowing in thoughts that they cannot share with others. This comfort was expressed both in the song lyrics and in Jimin's incredibly smooth, soothing, and angelic voice.
Jimin created “Promise” hoping to comfort the people who are suffering alone alone by not revealing their inner thoughts.

Jimin's message did resonate with multitudes of people around the world just as soon as the song was released. This was demonstrated by the fact that 'Promise' recorded the biggest 24-hour debut on Soundcloud by accumulating 8.5 million streams, breaking Drake's 4.9 million record that he had achieved with his highly anticipated diss track directed to Kanye West and Pusha T, the Duppy Freestyle. Various media outlets like Billboard and MTV reported on this piece of news as it was a big deal that Jimin released this track as a surprise and never did any promotions following its release either, yet still managed to achieve such an overwhelming response. Different acclaimed personalities and multi-national corporations also spoke about 'Promise' after its release.
