WaitEXO
The overlapping vocals of the EXO members create a gentle, soothing song.
While EXO has many powerful tracks, they also showcase a beautiful ballad like this one, centered on members with strong vocal abilities.
It’s a romantic winter love song that conjures thoughts of a cherished lover on a cold day when it feels like it might snow.
You find yourself thinking, “I want to see them soon,” while worrying, “I hope they don’t catch a cold in this weather.” It paints a picture of a happy couple—some might admire it or even feel a bit envious.
Listening to it fills you with happiness.
Coming OverEXO
An up-tempo song with a well-balanced mix of Japanese and English.
The English parts are, of course, super cool, and the Japanese sections groove hard too.
It’s a pretty high-energy track, so even if you feel a little shy, give it a try.
Once you start singing, you’ll find people around you getting into it more than you’d expect.
It’s a song you win by enjoying with your whole body.
Cream SodaEXO
Debuting in 2012 with the mini-album “MAMA,” EXO has become a pioneering presence among boy idol groups.
Among their many tracks, “Cream Soda” is a top recommendation: a dance-pop song that blends a mellow vibe with their cool image.
While many of their songs are aggressive, this one has a moderately relaxed tone, making it perfect to play casually as background music in your room.
Love FoolEXO
EXO’s “Love Fool” beautifully captures a passionate romance, carried by Baekhyun and the others’ powerful vocals, making you feel as if you’re falling in love right along with it.
It was released in July 2023 on their seventh album, EXIST.
It’s the perfect song when you’re struggling with love or want to reaffirm your feelings for someone special.
You can feel the warmth of EXO’s music, as if it’s gently by your side.
Give it a listen as an uplifting, encouraging anthem, too.
Love Me Right ～romantic universe～EXO
This is a song that guides a dreamy girl into the universe of love.
Comparing love to space, under a night sky filled with all kinds of heart-fluttering moments, a young man invites the girl for a drive.
She’s likely a bit of a dreamer, the type who’s in love with love.
Leading this shy girl is a smart, romantic nice guy.
Listeners will feel like they’re being treated like a princess and experience sensations different from the everyday.
Miracles in December(12월의 기적)EXO
EXO is a boy group active not only in South Korea but also based in Japan.
Their strong vocal abilities have been highly praised, earning them numerous music awards.
EXO’s “Miracles in December (12월의 기적)” is a winter-themed ballad.
Its lyrics, which express regret over a past romance, are likely to resonate with many listeners.
Incidentally, the album “Miracles in December,” which includes this track, features many other winter songs as well.
Be sure to check them out together.
The StarEXO
A stylish R&B-style Christmas song.
The key point is that it doesn’t use jingles or strings.
It has a mature, cool finish, but the content is quite romantic.
A dazzling star shining on a winter night—that refers to a single woman.
She isn’t looking at just one man.
Even so, it feels as if her gaze is fixed only on me.
You could call it a love that’s out of reach.
