The first CD, starting with the unreleased track 'Born Singer', follows a 'chronology of BTS'. It includes all of BTS's past album title tracks in chronological order, such as 'No More Dream', 'N.O', 'Boy In Luv', 'Danger', 'I NEED U', 'RUN', 'FIRE', 'Blood Sweat & Tears', 'Spring Day', 'DNA', 'FAKE LOVE', 'IDOL', 'Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey)', 'ON', 'Dynamite', 'Life Goes On', 'Butter', and the new album's title track 'Yet To Come'.

'Born Singer', which kickstarts the first CD, is a heartfelt track where BTS, one month after debut, candidly expressed their feelings and experiences. Initially released as a free track in July 2013, 'Born Singer' has been remastered for inclusion in the 'Proof' album, holding special significance for both BTS and their fans.

Having proven their worth through music over nine years, BTS concludes the first CD with 'Yet To Come', declaring their "history of proof" as ongoing.

"Your and my best moment has yet to come"

As the title track of the album 〈Proof〉, 'Yet To Come' caps off the first CD, which chronologically compiles BTS's title tracks. The song reflects on BTS's musical journey while promising a more radiant future.

'Yet To Come', a medium-tempo alternative hip-hop track, utilizes Chipmunk soul sampling, popular in the early to mid-2000s. Members RM, SUGA, and j-hope participated in its creation.

The warm melody, hopeful message of "your best moment has yet to come", and BTS's calm voices collectively comfort listeners.

'Yet To Come', from the first verse to the last, reassures that despite the challenges and events faced together, "your tomorrow will shine brighter." It narrates not only BTS's story but also a message of looking forward to a more hopeful tomorrow.
