eight (Prod.&Feat. SUGA of BTS)IU
A track by IU, a nationally beloved artist who enjoys overwhelming popularity in Korea, in collaboration with BTS’s Suga.
It became a hit that could arguably be called her most-listened-to song of 2020.
Beyond the inherent appeal of the collaboration itself, it also drew attention for possibly containing messages to the late Jonghyun and Sulli.
With IU’s gentle vocals and Suga’s confronting rap, the wishes in this song resonate deeply; the lyricism is truly beautiful.
As precious days vividly come back to life, the song prompts reflection on the sanctity of life and the power of hope.
HeartIU
Lee Ji-eun, who performs under the name IU, is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actress active since 2008.
This track was released in 2015 and reached No.
1 on the Korean charts.
It was used in the 2015 South Korean television drama The Producers.
Voice-MailIU
A track included on the 2013 third album, Modern Times.
It’s a song about the anxiety of feeling that, even though the person you like is caring and says kind things to you, your true feelings might not be reaching them.
You’ve confessed and have been waiting a long time for an answer… It’s tough when there’s no reply and the other person keeps acting in a confusing way.
Tired of waiting, you end up sorting out your feelings on your own.
Apparently, this is something IU herself actually experienced at the age of 21.
The inner voice fits so realistically, making it a deeply heartrending song.
Try comparing it with the Japanese version, which might feel even more relatable.
PaletteIU
Among IU’s many hit songs, this one stands out as especially wonderful.
IU herself wrote the lyrics and composed the music, packing the moments of her 25-year-old self tightly into it.
The track also boasts a luxurious feature from BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON.
IU’s soothing vocals and G-DRAGON’s warm, effortlessly relaxed voice blend gently together.
Japanese DJ tofubeats, active across various scenes, also selected it as one of his Top 5 songs of the first half of 2017 on the music program “Kanjam.”
Love wins allIU
A new release from Korea’s IU, ahead of her world tour “H.E.R.” in January 2024.
It begins with minimal piano and unfolds into a dramatic, moving ballad.
The lyrics, which sing of wanting to go anywhere with the one you love, are deeply touching.
Paired with IU’s clear, transparent vocals, the song beautifully blends heartache and hope.
The message in the title, “Love wins all,” also conveys a respect for diverse forms of love.
It’s a perfect track not only for those struggling with love, but also for moments when you want to feel the bond with someone special.
