[K-POP’s Charisma] A Special Feature on BIGBANG’s Popular and Classic Songs
BIGBANG has been electrifying the K-pop scene since the late 2000s.
Even in Japan, before K-pop culture fully took root, they could be considered one of the boy groups—alongside TVXQ—that led the era.
They’ve now amassed a legendary track record and a long-standing career.
Their 2022 return to activities and G-DRAGON’s surprise performance of BIGBANG’s songs at the 2024 MAMA also became big talking points.
Their overwhelming songwriting prowess and charisma never cease to impress, no matter how much time passes!
From party-tune bangers that bring the hype to Japanese-language ballads that really hit home, we’ll be highlighting many of their classic tracks.
[K-POP’s Charisma] A Special Feature on BIGBANG’s Popular and Classic Songs (1–10)
BANG BANG BANGBIGBANG

A track from MADE SERIES [A] in 2015—when people think of MADE SERIES, this is probably the first song that comes to mind.
It was performed first on the MADE tour and is an undeniably hype anthem.
Since it was the last album featuring all the members together before their military service, fans went wild for the long-awaited comeback.
It’s more than cool enough to ignite the fanbase.
LOSERBIGBANG

When life gets tough, it can make you feel like a “loser,” right? When you go through failures in work or love, this sentimental song is a great recommendation.
In this track, BIGBANG’s V.I takes the lead vocal and delivers a heartbreakingly beautiful chorus.
It’s a treat for V.I fans too, showcasing a more mature side of him—someone fluent in Japanese who’s known for making fans laugh.
The song is included in the 2015 release MADE SERIES ‘M’.
SOBERBIGBANG

This is a track included on the album D, released as part of the MADE SERIES.
It plays on the feeling of “I can’t live without you,” saying one can’t stay sober (맨정신).
D-LITE showcases his drumming on this song.
His bright, signature personality comes through in an exuberant rhythm that makes listeners feel happy.
He even performed a drum solo during the concert.
SUNSET GLOWBIGBANG

A ballad released by BIGBANG in 2008.
A remake of Lee Moon-se’s song, this track—featured on the album “Remember”—depicts a poignant love story.
It expresses the pain of heartbreak and feelings that don’t fade with time, overlaying them with the image of a beautiful sunset.
The fusion of acoustic elements and dynamic beats is striking.
It’s a highly relatable song that accompanies the universal experience of “the loss of love.” A track packed with BIGBANG’s charm that you’ll want to quietly listen to at dusk.
FANTASTIC BABYBIGBANG

When it comes to BIGBANG, many people probably think of “FANTASTIC BABY.” The leader, G-DRAGON, handled the lyrics, with T.O.P also participating in the rap parts.
It’s an absolute must at concerts and a real crowd-pleaser, and I think plenty of people fell in love with BIGBANG because of this song.
It’s a straightforward “Let’s party!” kind of track that you can simply enjoy along with the music.
The music video is stunningly cool and a must-see.
HARU HARUBIGBANG

A track from the 2008 album “Number 1,” it’s a heartfelt love song.
The lyrics portray a bittersweet couple, and the vocals by SOL and D-LITE are especially noteworthy.
It’s the kind of song that many fans—especially those in the fan club, VIP—would name as one of their favorites.
WE LIKE 2 PARTYBIGBANG

This is a song I really want you to watch the music video for.
The concept is the BIGBANG members going on vacation, and they look like they’re having an amazing time.
BIGBANG is known for having lots of fans regardless of gender, and this track is the same—it’s a happy song I can recommend to anyone! It’s included in the 2015 MADE SERIES ‘A’.
