Various K-POP Breakup Songs [Relatable • Next Steps • Bittersweet] (61–70)
I will show youAilee
Ailee is a K-pop singer from the United States.
She’s young, but she’s one of those singers with incredible vocal ability.
Having grown up in America, her voice is powerful, and when she sings in English, her pronunciation is super cool, giving her vocals a striking, piercing quality.
This song makes the most of those traits—it’s a track that conveys a strong determination to forget the man she broke up with, and listening to it when you’re feeling sad can be very empowering.
Backseat PromisesKANG DANIEL
After his activities with Wanna One, Kang Daniel has been showcasing a wide range of expressions as a solo artist.
This is the title track from his special album “PULSEPHASE,” released in December 2025.
It’s a dance-pop song with a buoyant beat and gentle melody that feels just right for the slightly chilly season.
The lyrics portray a mature mindset—choosing not to cling to past heat or infatuation, but to acknowledge their afterglow and move forward.
Notably, he was deeply involved in the songwriting and composition, and the track is written entirely in English.
With its sophisticated mood that makes you want to listen during a nighttime drive, it’s recommended for moments when you want to think alone or spend some calm, quiet time.
Forever2PM
“Forever” is a song by 2PM, known as the “beast idol” group, and it was included as the B-side to their 2012 Japanese single “Masquerade.” Member Junho wrote and composed the track.
While it can be heard as a mutual long-distance love, the theme is that time apart makes the bond stronger.
Lyrics about both people doing their best under the same sky can also be encouraging after a breakup.
The members’ warm vocals are likely to soothe a broken heart.
Forget YouSejin
“Forget You” is a solo song by Sejin, a member of WANNA.B, the well-known six-member K-pop girl group.
Sejin’s cute yet slightly wistful vocals match beautifully with the laid-back rhythm of the track.
It has the feel of a grand, movie-theme-style ballad, so I imagine it would really resonate with anyone going through a heartbreak.
Love Me AgainV
A track that BTS’s V released as a solo in August 2023.
It’s included on the album Layover.
If you like R&B, this one’s especially worth checking out.
The lyrics, which express a longing to get back together with a former lover, carry a touch of melancholy yet have an alluring mood that draws you in.
You’re wrapped in V’s soothing low register and sensuality.
The music video—filmed in caves on the island of Mallorca, Spain—adds to the song’s fragile, emotional vibe.
It’s the kind of piece that leaves you wanting to linger in its afterglow.
LonelyBOL4
Included on the 2018 mini album “Red Diary Page.2.” Isn’t it true that when you spend so much time together, the ordinary can start to show its negative side? It portrays a situation where even talking feels like a hassle, as if a breakup is drawing near.
The aching feelings of wishing they would comfort you when you’re hurting, of wanting them to stay by your side like they did back then—Ahn Ji-Young’s vocals sink in and bring you to tears.
Along with its fragility, this heartbreak song teaches the importance of truly listening.
123-78BOYNEXTDOOR
A sophisticated track that fuses jazz and R&B, showcasing a new frontier for BOYNEXTDOOR.
Since their debut a year and a half ago, they’ve made remarkable strides, and this piece stands out as a bold musical experiment from their album “No Genre.” Member Woongnak contributed to the lyrics, weaving the loss of love into poetic lines.
The delicate melodies and refined chord progressions sprinkled throughout the medium tempo gently envelop the sense of heartache.
Following its release in May 2025, the song reached No.
6 on Korea’s Melon chart.
It’s a perfect choice not only for those looking to overcome the pain of love, but also for anyone seeking music with a warm touch amid an urbane atmosphere.
