BTS member Jung Kook's self-written single "Still With You" has achieved a remarkable milestone, amassing over 500 million streams on Spotify. This marks Jung Kook's sixth track to reach the impressive 500-million mark on the streaming platform, following a series of popular songs including "Seven," "Standing Next to You," "Left and Right," his duet with Charlie Puth "3D," and "Dreamers."

Among these, "Seven" stands out as Jung Kook's official solo debut and his most successful track, having amassed an astounding 3 billion streams on Spotify.

"Still With You" reached a respectable peak position of No. 33 on Billboard's Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 62 on the Billboard Global 200 following its official release in July 2023.
