WHAT DO YOU MEAN TAEHYUNG IS GONNA THROW THE FIRST PITCH FOR LA DODGERS ? LIKE NOT FOR KOREA BUT FOR LOS ANGELES ??? WHAT IS GOING ON ??? WHERE IS THIS EVEN COMING FROM ??????? OH MY GOD

The singer talked about his album Layover in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone on September 8, 2023, here quoted via Rolling Stone India's article on the matter. Speaking about the title of the album, the singer stated:

"The title Layover came about while I was contemplating what my final destination is in my life and career and the way to get there. The intent behind naming my first solo album, Layover, is to represent a starting point ,like I’m just beginning to paint the picture that is Kim Taehyung."

The singer continued:

"I realized there’s a long way to the final destination of my life. There’s a lot of different ways to get to that final destination.Why not give yourself the time to rest, look back at myself, and create new goals? Thinking about all of that, I decided on the name Layover."

BTS Taehyung later added:

"I really hope that listeners of this album will also take it as an opportunity to reflect on their lives, think about their goals, and take some moments of rest wherever they need."

BTS Taehyung later talked about Layover's influences and production, stating:

"...jazz and classical are my favorite genres, so I think I always had the desire to try making it myself. It was the music that I grew up listening to. Whenever I had free time, or when there was a break between my work, I tended to go back to those styles. I felt a sense of comfort while listening to them, so I really wanted to try to make music that also brings that feeling of consolation to the audience..."
