The back-and-forth rap between G-DRAGON and T.O.P at the beginning is cool, and the chorus is easy to sing along to.
It’s a sorrowful breakup song that portrays someone clinging to the past, wounded deeply by heartbreak.
STUPID LIARBIGBANG
BIGBANG’s “STUPID LIAR” depicts lies and betrayal in love.
It’s a track from the April 2011 release BIGBANG Special Edition.
Written and composed by G-DRAGON, the song stands out with its catchy rhythm and his signature polished rap.
The title phrase is emblematic, expressing the pain and disappointment of love, and even self-loathing.

BAE BAEBIGBANG
Among K-POP idols, BIGBANG ranks at the top, distinguished by high-level music that other idols don’t have.
Their songs are appealing for their style that blends Western influences into K-POP.
This track is from the 2015 MADE SERIES ‘M’.
SOL’s romantic vocals are especially recommended on this song.

BIGBANG is a male artist group that has been active since the 2000s.
They are a global music group recognized not only across Asia but also in Europe and the United States.
“Still Life” was released in 2022.
It’s an epic rock ballad that embraces a wide range of emotions.
The lyrics about life pair beautifully with the warm band sound, and their pure, soulful vocals are sure to soothe you.
Give this moving track a listen and experience the unique charm each member brings.
BEAUTIFUL HANGOVERBIGBANG
A track packed with the allure of BIGBANG, who reign as K-POP legends.
Its striking, innovative expression likens the intensity of love to a “beautiful hangover.” Released in August 2010, it made a powerful impact on Japanese fans as well.
The up-tempo beat and passionate lyrics are perfectly matched, vividly conveying the feeling of being intoxicated by love.
Recommended for those who want to savor the thrill and afterglow of romance.
The music video is also a must-see, offering a visual feast that immerses you in the song’s world.
LAST DANCEBIGBANG
This is a song from the MADE SERIES that began in 2015, and it feels like the last activity with all the members together before enlistment.
For both the fans and the members, it’s a song that brings back fun memories of BIGBANG.
I think many fans listened to this while hoping for the day all the members would safely complete their military service and return.
It’s a beautiful ballad.
