Today, Jimin unveiled his official tracklist, which has dropped, revealing the titles of all seven songs. The tracks appear to be 1. “Rebirth,” 2. “Interlude Showtime,” 3. “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (Ft. Loco)” [PRE RELEASE], 4. “Slow Dance (Ft. Sofia Carson),” 5. “Be Mine,” 6. “Who” [ TITLE TRACK], 7. “Closer Than This.”
ARMYs were shocked to see “Smeraldo” mentioned in Track 4, “Smaraldo Garden Marching Band (Ft. Loco),” as the Smeraldo flower was introduced in the BTS Universe in 2017.

Others were amused to realize the long phrase in the crossword was “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band.” A crossword challenge was released via ARMY exclusive Instagram broadcast channel.
Now how the hell did they think we’d get “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” 😂😂😂

While some ARMYs struggled to decode this, others realized Jimin had spoiled this title long ago. In the 2023 doc [Jimin’s Production Diary] Quiz Show, Jimin revealed that he and his producers referred to themselves as the Smeraldo Garden Marching Band while producing FACE.
I didn’t pull “Marching Band” out of thin air. My mind went:
Album cover has a Smeraldo Flower. A couple days ago that made me remember him revealing in his prod diary that he & producers during Face called themselves the Smeraldo Garden Marching Band. So SGMB has been in my head https://t.co/bgEYOPxDJm pic.twitter.com/xQStmjBeP8— Ren⁷⟭⟬⟬⟭(busy) (@renkiger_) June 20, 2024

Additionally, MUSE might have been in production for a long time. Two years ago, Jimin shared a photo of himself with the producers, including Tommy Brown (also known as TBHits). Tommy Brown was listed as one of the producers of “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band.”

Before the tracklist reveal, Jimin had also previously hinted at BTS’s “The Truth Untold.” So, clearly, the new song is connected to this BTS era.
No wonder he was hinting at The Truth Untold😭😭. The track name is Smeraldo Garden Marching Band. Time to bring back the story about Smeraldo Flower and The Truth Untold pic.twitter.com/aFysLtanOH

Smeraldo is actually the flower that BTS created in the story of The Truth Untold. The Smeraldo flower is the flower of legend, and the flower’s language is “the truth that couldn’t be told”. This is why Jimin gave us the hint of the truth untold when he announced the album.

So, the sheet music was The Truth Untold and the Pre-release single is "Smeraldo Flower Marching Band"??!!!! I can't even begin to imagine how beautiful this song is going to be. 😭😭😭😭
