A hip-hop track where hefty 808 bass is sliced by razor-sharp brass, it pulls listeners straight into its world.
The lyrics, which member Wonyoung participated in writing, center on the theme of “secret signals” shared only between those who are close.
Behind a confident, cool exterior, they paint a sweet and enigmatic message that promises clandestine rendezvous in dreams.
The slightly dangerous, dominant worldview that lures you into a dream realm unbound by reality is simply irresistible.
It’s a highly addictive number you’ll want to sink into during the stillness of the night.

A powerful track from BABYMONSTER woven with hip-hop and dark synthesizers.
Its appeal lies in the unexpected progression that fuses a message radiating fierce self-affirmation with baroque-style piano.
The members’ deep tones and soaring vocals strike a perfect balance, and the addictive refrain in the chorus is irresistible.
Released from their first mini album “BABYMONS7ER” in April 2024, the song sparked a huge reaction, surpassing 50 million views within three days of release.
With a bold stance characteristic of YG Entertainment and a sound that hints at global success, it’s perfect for those who want to leave a strong impression.

The song carries a message about growing stronger the more you face hardship, and the contrast with the members’ cuteness is irresistibly appealing.
Its slightly niche, edgy vibe is guaranteed to lift your mood.
The repeated vocal parts, like in the intro, are insanely addictive—they’ll have your head bobbing before you know it.

With lyrics co-written by Umti, the song is a sleek hip-hop number where a minimal trap beat intertwines with an addictive hook.
It’s highly recommended for night drives or whenever you want to channel a bold, confident mindset.
Pretty SavageBLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is a girl group that could be called the flagship of YG.

Their 2020 release, Pretty Savage, embodies this approach.
The track has a strong hip-hop character, with the vocal lines unfolding as an extension of rap flow throughout.
As a result, the range is narrow and there are no complex melodic leaps, so once you’re comfortable with rapping, it’s relatively easy to sing.

It features an EDM sound rooted in house music and, notably, their first attempt at voguing dance.

The repeated phrase “All the girls are girling girling” is also appealing.
The music video, which showcases performances in distinctive locations such as a public bathhouse and an aquarium, has been drawing attention as well.
It’s an energetic song perfect for when you want to take a step beyond the everyday.
