"Footsteps" (Chosŏn'gŭl: 발걸음) was a Kim Jong-un theme song before "Onwards Toward the Final Victory". The tune was released in 2009[2] and aired while his father (Kim Jong-il) was alive, before Kim Jong-un had a formal position.[3]

The song is calling to follow "Our General Kim's footsteps".[4] The song begins:[1]
Tramp tramp tramp
the footsteps of our General Kim
spreading the spirit of February
tramp tramp tramping onwards
According to Yonhap, "General Kim" appears to be a reference to Kim Jong-un and February is a birth month of his father.[1] Additional song lyrics:[4]
Footsteps, Footsteps
spreading out further the sound of a brilliant future ahead
tramp, tramp, tramp, ah, footsteps
