"Lost!," a new song by RM, the leader of K-pop superband BTS, has debuted atop iTunes Top Songs charts in 73 countries around the world, his agency said Saturday.

The lead off song from his second solo album, "Right Place, Wrong Person," topped the iTunes charts in Italy, France, Japan and Mexico, among others.

On Friday, RM dropped his second solo album after "Indigo," released in December 2022.

Including "Lost!," the album has a total of 11 tracks, with "Nuts," "Out of Love," "Domodachi," "?" and "Come Back to Me" among the B-side tracks. RM wrote all the tracks.

He delved deep in "Lost!" exploring how people become lost, unable to find the right answers due to their conflicting emotions.

Still, the song conveys a hopeful message that "even though we may be lost, being with the friends we have now might be OK," the agency said.

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