Upon its initial release, "You Never Walk Alone" debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 61, with the lead single "Spring Day" making headlines by securing the No. 8 spot on the iTunes songs chart in the United States. The track also claimed the top position on Oricon's daily digital single ranking.

The resurgence of "Spring Day" on global charts is being interpreted as a poignant demonstration of fans expressing their longing for the seven BTS members, all currently fulfilling their mandatory military service. The song, with lyrics co-written by RM and Suga, explores themes of missing friends, providing a reflective backdrop to the fans' sentiment during the group members' temporary absence.
