Say it out loudAwich
I can’t really write out the title or the lyrics here in detail…
but in short, it’s about how important it is to properly convey your true feelings.
It’s a track by Awich, a rapper from Okinawa, released in 2021.
It’s a hip-hop number that fits words like mature, sexy, and cool.
As a love song, it’s quite on the assertive, predatory side.
But maybe it’s okay to be this proactive when it comes to someone you really like.
Die, baby.Aya a.k.a. Panda
If you’re someone who is messaging—or used to message—your partner on LINE, I want you to listen to “Shinde yo BABY.” It’s a song by AYA a.k.a.
PANDA that portrays romance from a woman’s perspective.
It captures the anger and loneliness toward a guy who’s slow to reply on LINE, along with the feeling of still loving him anyway.
It’s full of relatable LINE “been there” moments, which is part of its appeal.
Also, the technical rhyming in the chorus is a real highlight.

Offering a glimpse of Pop Smoke’s softer side, it stands as a masterpiece that showcases his versatility.
Featured on the album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon,” released in July 2020, it revives the vibe of early 2000s R&B for a modern audience.
The lyrics, which portray everyday interactions with his lover and express trust and gratitude toward her, are sure to resonate with many listeners.

Milky.
This song stirred up the viral charts and blew up on TikTok; the phrase and hashtag “I’ll come pick you up in my comfy clothes” are especially popular.
It sings about a guy who, at 2 a.m., suddenly wants to see his girlfriend and drives over just as he is, in his loungewear, and a girl who’s thinking, “At this hour?” but still wants to see him—though she’s also worrying she should do her makeup…
