Gyubin’s debut track captures the sweetness of young love.
Written by the singer-songwriter at 17, it’s a pop tune brimming with the sparkle of first love.
Set to bright, breezy guitar, the song pours out pure feelings for someone special.

Once you start humming the lyrics, you’ll feel like a cool, powerful woman too.
Sing it with a bold attitude and the stress and worries bottled up in your heart will blow away.
You might even find yourself thinking, “This is what I want to do—got a problem with that?”—a different mindset from your usual self.
FearSEVENTEEN
A song I’d recommend to people who usually sing K-pop.
It’s about the entanglements of love, featuring a vocal style and rap that feel like they’re wrapping around your body.
It starts with a rap that expresses inner turmoil, then shifts to a wistful vocal that signals taking action.
If the rap part is tough, you can still enjoy singing just the vocal sections.
Above all, the track itself is incredibly cool, so just singing it will make you look cool!

It may be challenging to sing, but it’s a beautiful piece that offers a brief moment of respite in our rapidly moving modern world.

A must-listen for any K-POP fan! That’s BLACKPINK’s smash hit “DDU-DU DDU-DU (JP Ver.).” Released on June 15, 2018, it was BLACKPINK’s first Japanese single.
Its catchy melody naturally lifts your mood the moment you grab a karaoke mic, and its oriental beat—somehow nostalgic—adds to the appeal.
With a rhythm perfect for a debut in Japan that makes your body move before you know it, it’s guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session! It’s the perfect track to immerse yourself in BLACKPINK’s cool-and-cute vibe and steal the spotlight at karaoke!
