RM's debut solo studio album 'Indigo' has arrived, and fans are already moved by the thoughtful and emotional themes that emerge from its poetic lyrics. Listeners will notice that the new song he teased with Pharrell isn't on the album, and that's because the project was carefully curated (but fans can definitely expect that collaboration soon).

RM's debut single, "Wild Flower", can be found on track #9 on "Indigo", so you can start listening to the album now, because in a note to fans on Weverse, RM told them asked to listen to the album from beginning to end to experience it as he wished. Then you can press play on his live performance behind NPR's Tiny Desk and watch his new music video for "Wild Flower," a track that explores RM's outlook on life and mixed feelings about his success and fame. .

Meaning of RM's "Wildflower"

In the first verse, RM raps, "Even before the start, I imagined / An ending where I could clap and smile / That's what I wished for," according to YouTube's English translation. It looks like RM hasn't been able to reach the point yet where he can look back, clap and smile, and he may never get there, as he continues delivering the lines, " When all I believed in has slipped away / When all this fame has turned to chains / Please take me away from my desire."

Despite his unfulfilled desires, RM still strives to embrace his true self, and these existential themes resonate in “Indigo.” In the chorus, beautifully sung by Youjeen, RM encourages himself (and, in doing so, his listeners) to shine by lighting a "flower".

The video that accompanies "Wild Flower" is a visual masterpiece. It sees RM deliver his verses in various picturesque but caustic locations: the eye of a storm, a dark space where fiery embers fall from the sky, and a crowded stadium – all juxtaposed with shots of the leader of BTS standing in a serene lavender field. Fittingly, fireworks explode throughout the video, a reminder of RM's encouraging term "flowerworks".
