BTS member Jungkook is among the composers, according to Variety, marking the first time the band has contributed to a film score.
The song and the movie share the same English-language title, with the theme also featuring as a track on their new MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 – THE JOURNEY – album, which debuted in Japan on Wednesday.
In a statement, the band says: “We are glad to be part of such an amazing film. Jungkook took part in composing the theme song Your Eyes Tell that goes well with the beautiful and profound love portrayed in the film.”
