Written by BTS' rappers to the instrumental of J. Cole’s hit, “Born Singer” describes BTS' journey from trainees to rookie idols, mostly focusing on the rap line’s thoughts, feelings, struggles, and victories.

The track was released originally on BTS' SoundCloud and YouTube channel just a month after their debut. Following that, a recording episode of BTS singing “Born Singer” during their photoshoot was released, and followed by live performances during tours.

In 2022, after getting the clearance from the original composers, the song was released on the streaming platforms and the CDs, as a part of BTS' anthology album, PROOF.
