Irresistible Replays: Upbeat K-POP Tracks That Lift Your Mood (31–40)
Soda PopSaja Boys
This is a track by the group Saja Boys from the Netflix animated film “KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters.” Though fictional, they’ve been stirring up the real music scene—ranking on U.S.
music charts by July 2025.
At first listen, it’s a classic idol song with the fizz and freshness of popping soda! But the lyrics aren’t a sweet love song; they actually express the very desires of their true identities: demons that devour souls.
That duality—the sparkling idol façade and the dark nature hidden beneath—really grabs you, doesn’t it? You might just get hooked on the sweet melody of this piece, the “first trap” in the story.
TTTwice
When it comes to the most popular female K-pop groups right now, I think TWICE is the first name that comes to mind.
While many recent K-pop groups tend to go for more provocative performances, TWICE continues to gain popularity with a classic, mainstream style.
Their songs often have a cute vibe, and their track “TT” is a striking example of that.
If you like songs that balance catchy energy with cuteness, be sure to check it out.
Kitschive
IVE is a six-member girl group from Korea.
With hits like ‘LOVE DIVE’ and ‘After LIKE,’ they’ve released many catchy songs.
Their track ‘Kitsch’ is exceptionally addictive, especially in the chorus where the title is repeated.
Another highlight is that the non-chorus sections differ between the first and second halves, so you won’t get bored.
The brighter, poppier vocal melody contrasts with the hook in the chorus, which drops suddenly—the more you listen, the more it grows on you.
I Feel GoodBOYNEXTDOOR
This track stands out with its powerful guitar riffs and funk-infused sound.
BOYNEXTDOOR, a six-member boy group, released it in May 2025 as the lead track from their 4th mini-album, “No Genre.” Members Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak took part in the production, resulting in an intuitive, exhilarating piece.
The song features liberating lyrics with a positive message, and its dynamic choreography—featuring an homage to Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”—is another highlight.
The album sold over 700,000 copies on its first day, debuting at No.
1 on Korea’s Hanteo Chart.
It’s perfect for when you want to boost your mood or feel free.
GENTLEMANPSY
When it comes to the most successful Korean artist of the 2010s, isn’t it PSY? After catapulting to global stardom with “GANGNAM STYLE,” he’s continued to churn out hit songs.
Among his works—where he truly excels at high-energy sounds—the one I especially recommend is “GENTLEMAN.” It’s EDM that manages to feel both laid-back and irresistibly upbeat.
Definitely check it out.
