[K-pop Charisma] BIGBANG’s Popular and Iconic Songs (41–50)
MY HEAVENBIGBANG
This was BIGBANG’s major debut single in Japan after their activities in South Korea, released on June 24, 2009.
It drew attention because the members handled the songwriting, composition, arrangement, and even the choreography themselves.
The lyrics, which depict the sorrow of parting with a beloved girlfriend, are also noteworthy.
OH YEAHBIGBANG
An electropop number that shakes the dance floor.
G-DRAGON and T.O.P’s raps are beautifully complemented by 2NE1’s Park Bom on vocals.
Released in December 2010, it peaked at No.
2 on Korea’s Gaon chart.
Centered on a free and fun lifestyle, it expresses romantic feelings and passion.
The chorus title creates a sense of unity on the club floor.
It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser in live performances.
It also took first place on the Korean music show M! Countdown.
THIS LOVEBIGBANG
This is G-DRAGON’s solo track from the first single “BIGBANG,” released in 2006.
It features a band sound overlaid with G-DRAGON’s upbeat rap.
It’s a cool, masculine love song that expresses the bittersweet feelings of falling for a woman who already has a boyfriend.
꽃 길 (Flower Road)BIGBANG
Flower Road is a song that vows a fated reunion with a lover who has been separated.
Released in 2018 by BIGBANG, a music group that has led the K-pop scene since the 2000s, it unfolds over a hip-hop-style beat infused with the sound of acoustic guitar.
Depicting a poignant farewell between lovers, its cool, flower-themed lyrics give it a narrative feel.
It’s a romantic track that longs for the day the two will be reunited.
Give it a listen during graduation season, when cherry blossoms bloom and farewells arrive.
Let me hear your voiceBIGBANG
With this song, BIGBANG had their first tie-in track for a TV drama.
D-LITE, SOL, and V.I’s beautiful vocals blend nicely with G-DRAGON and T.O.P’s sharp rap, making it a wonderful song.
The lyrics also lack the initial hip-hop group vibe, so it’s easy to listen to.
맨정신(SOBER)BIGBANG
The Korean title is “Sober.” It sings of suffering—how, in a sober, ordinary state of mind, you can’t possibly remain calm.
“Sober” refers to not being drunk.
In other words, the person in this song is drinking and can’t breathe without borrowing the power of alcohol.
From the melancholy melody, you can tell they’re in an extremely tough situation.
When you run into a wall, listening to it might resonate with you on a gut level, beyond logic.
BAD BOYBIGBANG
This is a song included on the 2012 album STILL ALIVE.
Sometimes couples get into fights and end up saying things they don’t mean, hurting each other in the process.
It’s unbearably sad and fills you with guilt.
If you can’t bring yourself to apologize, you truly regret it.
This cool track sings about that awful version of yourself as a “BAD BOY.”
