Overview

"Stay Alive" is a song recorded by Jungkook of BTS as the original soundtrack for 7Fates:Chakho, a collaborative webtoon created by Hybe and Naver Webtoon. It was released as a stand-alone digital single on February 11, 2022, through Big Hit Music. A dramatic, slow-tempo pop ballad, the song was produced by BTS-bandmate Suga, who co-wrote it with El Capitxn, Maria Marcus, Louise Frick Sveen, Gabriel Brandes, Matt Thomson and Max Lynedoch Graham of Arcades, and Shin Won Park. The single charted at number one in Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam, and in the top 10 in Hungary, India, Japan, and New Zealand. It earned Jungkook his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a soloist, at number 95, and on the Global 200 at number 13. The song is the first Korean soundtrack in history to debut on the Official Singles Chart in the United Kingdom. Music and lyrics Musically, "Stay Alive" is a "dramatic" slow-tempo, "sweeping" pop ballad. Produced by Suga, the track's instrumentation features trademark elements of his production style, mixing "subtle guitar pluckings with a suave string section" for the intro, followed by "softly muted percussive elements" as the song's momentum builds, leading into a "slightly more explosive" though still subdued chorus. During a live stream on V Live in March 2022, Suga revealed that he had created the beat and melody for "Stay Alive" a long time ago. Unsure of when it would be released, he continuously worked on the song, editing and changing things. He also confirmed it was what he had been seen working on during filming for In the Soop. Production duo Arcades, comprising Matt Thomson and Max Lynedoch Graham, who previously worked on songs for BTS' Map of the Soul: Persona (2019) and Map of the Soul: 7 (2020) albums, contributed the topline melody for the song, together with Gabriel Brandes. According to an interview with Tatler, Big Hit Music sent across Suga's instrumental with "a very brief indication of what it was for but nothing set in stone". Having "the freedom to explore melodies", they "tried to play on the existing sense of melancholy and drama" Suga had created "to find something that would complement it." Big Hit then "took all the parts [they] submitted...made a 'best of'" and added Jungkook's vocals "to create what you hear now."
