J-Hope’s special album, Hope on the Street Vol. 1, features an all-star cast of guest appearances. The musician has shared the official tracklist for the record, out March 29, revealing collaborations with his fellow BTS bandmate Jung Kook, Benny Blanco with Nile Rodgers, Gaeko with Yoon Mirae, Le Sserafim vocalist Huh Yun-Jin, and JINBO the Superfreak.

Hope on the Street Vol. 1 will be released alongside a six-part docuseries titled Hope on the Street, set to premiere on March 27 via Prime Video. According to a press release, the album explores J-Hope’s creative roots as a street dancer. Prior to making his debut with BTS, the musician was a member of the underground dance crew Neuron. His collaboration with Gaeko and Yoon Mirae, “Neuron,” pays homage to that time in his life.

The collaborative nature of the album’s tracklist is reflective of the project’s origins. In the forthcoming series, J-Hope will be seen exploring several cities — including Osaka, Paris, New York, Seoul, and Gwangju — and drawing inspiration from street dancers in these international spaces.

“On the Street” is the only song on Hope on the Street Vol. 1 on which J-Hope performs on his own. It’s a solo version of the J. Cole collaboration he released around this time last year.

“The key motif of the track comes from the word ‘street,’ which can be interpreted as a place where many people’s everyday lives pass by—a metaphor for life,” HYBE shared in a statement at the time. “It comes from ‘street dance,’ the genre that represents J-Hope’s roots as an artist, and it also symbolizes the path that he will continue to take with his fans around the world.”
