CountdownCocco
A song with lyrics so shocking that I want you to listen while carefully reading them.
Cocco’s “Countdown” is her debut single, released in 1997.
Judging from the lyrics, it’s a track where she fiercely berates a boyfriend who has cheated, and it’s so impactful you might even think playing it for your boyfriend or husband could serve as a deterrent to cheating.
While the lyrics prominently feature scolding and violent expressions, it shows just how indescribably painful it is for someone who has been cheated on.
Call measmi
This is a song by asmi that straightforwardly portrays an episode of being tormented and swayed by a love she couldn’t stop.
While the sound has a glamorous feel with added brass, the inclusion of airy, floating tones is also striking, giving the impression that the instability of the heart is being emphasized.
Alongside her frustration toward a man who approached her saying he was about to break up with his girlfriend, the lyrics also depict self-deprecation for letting herself be tossed around by him.
The detailed depiction of episodes—like realizing she had become the other woman—vividly conjures up the scenes and sharply conveys the pain.
Cheating??Rosu
This song feels like a portrayal of emotions exploding the moment you catch someone in the act of cheating, hurling your feelings at them with everything you’ve got.
The track opens with sharp, hiccuping vocals that immediately convey the intent to attack.
The sound then unfolds through various rhythms and timbres, leaving a strong impression—evoking emotional instability and the darker corners of the heart.
As the dissatisfaction is thrown at the other person, the aggression intensifies, and the loss of rationality becomes terrifying.
It’s a chilling piece.

What Shikao Suga has crafted is a song from the perspective of a man who’s been cheated on.
Sung over a suspicious, shadowy melody, it portrays a deep love that borders on frightening—a stubborn fixation on his girlfriend even after her infidelity.
“I have to find a way to bring all of your feelings back to me, even though you cheated and drifted away…” It might seem like a normal emotion, but the reason it feels terrifying could lie in Suga’s world of melody and his choice of words.
