Echo (English Translation) is the English Translation version of album ECho which is the second solo album by Jin (Kim Seokjin) of BTS, released on May 16, 2025, at 1 PM KST under Big Hit Music. Following his 2024 debut Happy, this new record marks a powerful step forward in Jin’s solo journey—showcasing deeper introspection, emotional vulnerability, and musical diversity.

The album features seven tracks that explore themes of love, longing, growth, and healing. The title track, “Don’t Say You Love Me,” has captivated fans with its poignant message and cinematic visuals—rumored to include cameo appearances from Coldplay’s Chris Martin and actress Dakota Johnson. Other standout tracks include “Nothing Without Your Love,” “Loser” (feat. YENA), “Rope It,” “Background,” “Journey with the Clouds,” and “To the Me of Today.”
