EXO’s Greatest Hits! [Recommended Popular Songs] (1–10)
Ko Ko BopEXO
This is the title track from EXO’s fourth album, THE WAR, released in 2017.
Featuring a reggae-pop style that EXO hadn’t explored up to that point, the song offered fans a fresh new concept.
Chen, Chanyeol, and Baekhyun participated in writing the lyrics.
It’s a pleasant track that evokes images of spending time with a lover on a tropical beach.
LottoEXO
It’s the title track of the repackage album of EX’ACT, released in 2016.
Among EX’ACT’s dual title tracks, the white-tinged “Lucky One” and the black-tinged “Monster” both carried a thrilling vibe.
In the repackage, “Lotto” layers a fateful romance over the theme of a risky gamble.
By the way, in the MV, highlights include the maknae Sehun’s sexy solo dance and D.O.’s enigmatic expressions—fitting for someone recognized for his acting skills (lol).
PowerEXO
Speaking of EXO, their debut concept was that of stars coming from an unknown world, and the superpowers each member had left a strong impression.
This EDM track is colored by a similarly dynamic concept that brings that theme to mind.
You might be curious about the female voice saying “London Noise,” but London Noise is a UK-based production team that has worked on many of EXO’s songs.

This is a song included on the repackaged album Love Me Right, released on June 3, 2015, for EXODUS.

The song conveys a message to fans who were feeling uneasy amid the continued departures of members, expressing a firm commitment to keeping their promises.
CALL ME BABYEXO
The title track included in the second full album EXODUS, released on March 30, 2015.
The album drew attention as a highly polished work created by renowned producers.
The phrase “CALL ME BABY” appears nearly 30 times in the song, yet it doesn’t feel repetitive and is very memorable.
GROWLEXO
The title track included on the 1st repackaged album GROWL, released on August 5, 2013.
In Korean, “Ulrong” refers to the growling sound made by wolves or dogs; in Japanese, it corresponds to “wooon.” The chorus repeatedly uses this “Ulrong,” making it a striking, memorable phrase.
