It will mark the first release from the BTS leader since Indigo, his first official solo album, in December 2022.The group’s agency described Come Back to Me as a song in the indie pop genre with lyrics that read, “Everything comes back, though not necessarily everything.”

RM wrote the track while Oh Hyuk of the band Hyukoh composed and arranged it, and Kuo of Sunset Rollercoaster played guitar and bass. Singer-songwriter JNKYRD and San Yawn from Balming Tiger also contributed to the writing.

Although currently serving in the South Korean Army, RM managed to film music videos for nearly half of the album's tracks before his enlistment in December, according to BigHit.
