The stylish, pop-inspired vibe is adorable too! IU’s exceptionally wonderful masterpieces and recommended songs.

SomedayIU

191102 아이유(IU) – ‘someday’ (Dream High OST)직캠 (Eng sub) @ Love, Poem 광주 콘서트 [4K 멀티캠]

This is an insert song from the drama Dream High, which depicts the friendship, romance, and hard work of high school students aiming to debut as idols.

In the drama, IU appears as Pil-suk, a chubby girl who is an excellent singer.

It’s moving to see her overcome tough dieting and practice all on her own for love and her debut.

When it feels like neither your dreams nor your love will work out and you’re close to giving up, this song gives you the courage to push through.

Not Spring, Love, or Cherry BlossomsIU

This is the song in which IU took part from the lyric-writing stage for the debut track of HIGH4, a rookie idol group under N.A.P Entertainment.

Thanks in part to IU’s influence, the song became a hit and even topped the charts despite being by newcomers.

It’s a pity that HIGH4’s activities didn’t really take off afterward, though.

The song is bright and poppy with a springtime feel, and its cute theme is about admiring the joy of people in love and setting out to find love oneself.

DramaIU

It’s one of IU’s signature concert songs.

The recorder’s timbre and other elements are striking, giving it a fairytale-like soundtrack vibe—such a cute track.

It feels like she overlays the happy moments with her lover onto a drama.

When the romance ends, she’s left alone on the set, and before she knows it, the love story has already been wrapped up.

That’s so heartbreaking, isn’t it?

Beautiful DancerIU

IU – Beautiful Dancer

This is the lead track from her first Japan-original mini album, released in 2013, “Can You Hear Me?”.

It’s a song where you can fully enjoy the world of IU, from the lead vocals to the backing harmonies.

Not only does it showcase IU’s beautiful singing voice, but she also recites a poem in Japanese at the beginning.

That part is wonderful, too!

Our Happy EndingIU

IU (아이유) – Our Happy Ending (Hotel Del Luna Special OST) Lyrics (Han/Rom/Eng/가사)

It’s the ending song from the IU-led drama Hotel Del Luna—a very lovely ballad, though unfortunately it hasn’t been officially released.

The song carries the wishful thoughts of “What will become of the two lovers’ ending?” and “I hope it won’t be a sad one.” IU’s voice slips straight into your heart, as if a close friend were singing right beside you.

This song has that same charm.

Merry Christmas In AdvanceIU

191116 아이유(IU) – 미리 메리크리스마스 (Merry Christmas in Advance) 직캠 @ Love, Poem 부산 콘서트 앵앵콜 [4K 멀티캠]

The sparkling, beautiful sound and lively tempo make my heart bounce.

The sampled Jingle Bells in the middle is so fun too! IU’s high-tone voice and the lyrics overflowing with happiness are absolutely heart-fluttering, right? It’s the ultimate Christmas song where her maturing, elegant direction and her cuteness are perfectly balanced.

It’s included on her third mini album “Real,” released in 2010.

It’s a pop tune with a lush synth sound that feels great and naturally lifts your mood just by listening.

It carries a warm theme of embracing differences and clumsiness, and valuing your true self.

First pre-released in January 2021 and later included on the album LILAC, it’s one of IU’s signature songs.

The message of celebrating diversity pairs perfectly with its catchy melody.

It’s ideal for lively, fun moments like doodling time while taking purikura with friends.

It also boosts self-esteem, so it’s perfect for your makeup time before heading out dressed cute and stylish.

It’ll really raise your energy—give it a listen!
