TAEMIN Drops First English Single "Long Way Home," Signals Global Expansion
by. ymchoi

TAEMIN is taking a decisive step toward the global market with his first-ever English digital single.

On March 27, TAEMIN released "Long Way Home," a dreamy pop R&B ballad defined by its lingering melody and immersive vocal delivery. The track captures a sense of longing—holding onto fading moments while navigating emotional distance and ultimately returning to one's most fundamental place.

A Refined Sound Backed by Global Hitmakers

The single was crafted in collaboration with internationally recognized producers and songwriters who have worked with artists such as Tyla, LISA, Usher, and Imagine Dragons. Their involvement enhances the track's sonic polish while preserving TAEMIN's signature sophistication.

First Release Under New Agency, Bigger Global Push

"Long Way Home" also marks TAEMIN's first release after joining Galaxy Corporation. With this English single, he initiates a full-scale expansion into the international market.

The momentum continues with a historic milestone. TAEMIN is set to perform on April 11 and 18 at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, becoming the first K-pop male solo artist to take the stage at the globally renowned festival.

His agency stated that this release is only the beginning, with additional singles planned in sequence—each exploring diverse sounds and further solidifying TAEMIN's global presence.
