자리비움(By Your Side)BTOB

A track that immediately captivates you with its bouncy rhythm and sparkling vocal work.

It’s a number from BTOB’s eighth mini-album, “Remember That,” released in 2016.

This unique love song compares the role of “lover” to a “vacancy,” packing cuteness in every direction! It captures the fluttery excitement of thinking about your crush, and the little pangs of jealousy when they get close to someone else while you’re hesitating—but even that jealousy is expressed in such an adorable way.

Those who are shy in love will surely relate even more.

While BTOB is known for their captivating, mature ballads, charming songs like this are also fantastic and highly recommended!

Fish in water (Like a fish in water) - Akdong Musician

A song that soothes the heart when you listen to it.

Using the sea as a motif, it portrays the shifting emotions of a broken heart.

It’s hard to classify it as a love song, but the melody is gentle and refreshing.

The lover who drifted away from me became the sea.

Having become the sea, they are now out of reach, and the song quietly accepts that.

Rather than being emotional, it calmly reflects on the heart, which is beautiful.
