The title track from the album IT’z ME, released in 2020.
It’s a song about going your own way—saying it’s better to get hurt than to worry about reading the room.
People who don’t just go with the flow are so cool, aren’t they? I could kind of picture a party scene like in the music video, with people raising their glasses and dancing.
It feels so quintessentially ITZY—the strength to accept yourself looks incredibly cool.
And the more you listen, the more addictive it becomes.
It’s seriously catchy!

Love ShotEXO

The lead single from EXO’s fifth album.
Members Chen and Chanyeol wrote the lyrics.

TWICE is a girl group that enjoys worldwide popularity beyond Asia.
They captivate fans with the members’ glamorous looks and strong performance skills.
In 2022, they released “Talk that Talk,” a track characterized by a sound that evokes a touch of nostalgia, resulting in a pop song rich in colorful tones.
Pay attention to the lyrics, which portray the feelings of a girl longing for just one word from the person she loves.
Give this vibrant, retro-tinged K-pop song a listen.
SWIMNEW!BTS

A highly anticipated comeback track by BTS, the global group with massive worldwide popularity.
It’s the title track of their 5th album “ARIRANG,” which began streaming in March 2026, and has been garnering major buzz.
Inspired by traditional Korean folk music, it carries a profound message that likens moving forward through the flow of life to swimming.
The music video featuring actress Lili Reinhart surpassed 71 million views in about a week after its release! With a mellow sound that signals a new chapter for the group as they reunite after military service, it’s perfect for moments when you want to take a fresh step forward.
Be sure to check out the remix versions too, each showcasing their individual styles.
Catch CatchNEW!YENA

Yena, who rose to fame as a former member of IZ*ONE and is now popular as a solo artist and variety show personality.
This song, the title track of her album “LOVE CATCHER” released in March 2026, playfully portrays the push-and-pull of chaser and chased in romance, sung cutely over a lively electropop sound.
It’s a very catchy and addictive dance tune that feels like a modern take on the playful spirit of 2nd-generation K-pop.
It’s a happy track perfect for those who want to feel the flutter of love or simply need an energetic boost!
Left & RightSEVENTEEN

They are a 13-member male idol group.
This song, one of the standouts from their mini-album released in June 2020 through online music platforms, topped the charts as soon as it dropped.

With more members than most groups, their perfectly synchronized choreography is a must-see! It also makes a great driving song for the summer.
