[Guaranteed Repeat] Upbeat K-POP Songs That Lift Your Mood (61–70)
SWEATZEROBASEONE
A groovy dance tune that makes you want to move without thinking.
Released in April 2024 as the pre-release single from Korean nine-member boy group ZEROBASEONE’s 3rd mini-album “You Had Me at Hello.” With striking synth melodies and R&B vocals, this refreshing track captures the heat of summer and the joy of love.
It conveys the liberating feeling of dancing to the rhythm, and the music video—featuring the members dancing under the sun—is equally captivating.
The song has earned strong international recognition, topping iTunes’ Top Songs chart in 25 regions.
It’s the perfect track to lift your mood with its catchy, upbeat sound.
SHEESHBABYMONSTER
The debut track by YG Entertainment’s girl group BABYMONSTER.
Featured on their first mini-album “BABYMONS7ER,” released in April 2024, it stands out with baroque-style piano and grand synthesizers.
With a title that conveys surprise and awe, the song showcases charisma that goes beyond sporty appeal.
Its powerful bassline and impactful melody are highly addictive.
The album, including this track, also features a collaboration with pop star Charlie Puth.
Along with its bold style, the rap performance is top-notch, making it a perfect song to lift your mood.
DDU-DU DDU-DUBLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is a female K-pop group that has gained worldwide popularity for their stylish musicality.
Their cool style is reminiscent of the former group 2NE1, and every release has a gritty edge.
Among their songs, a particularly catchy track I highly recommend is DDU-DU DDU-DU.
It’s striking for its sound that incorporates the hip-hop subgenre known as trap.
Be sure to check it out.
Geeshōjo jidai
Girls’ Generation, the group that directly sparked Japan’s K-pop boom.
Their dances showcasing their long, slender legs were incredibly captivating, weren’t they? While each member is now active on her own stage, the group’s popularity back then was tremendous.
Among their works, the song I especially recommend is “Gee.” It’s a track marked by a cute, poppy sound; it’s not exactly flashy, but overall it comes together as an irresistibly catchy tune.
HARU HARUBIGBANG
When we think of something “norinori” (highly upbeat), we tend to imagine nothing but super hyped tracks, but it’s not limited to high-energy dance music.
BIGBANG’s classic hit “HARU HARU,” one of the most popular songs in their catalog, creates a striking contrast between its heart-wrenching lyrics and its catchy dance-pop sound.
It lets you feel melancholic yet get into the groove—an enjoyment that’s very characteristic of K-pop.
Be sure to give it a listen.
