BOL4 is a Korean artist often referred to as the “Queen of Streams,” as she has multiple songs with over 100 million streams.

A gentle yet bittersweet love ballad themed around the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Upon waking from sleep, a beloved softly whispers to me.

I gaze up at the starry sky and wish to stay by his side forever.

His tender voice gradually fades away.

It was a voice from my memories; the one I love was not actually there.

It feels like something that would help me sleep on a restless night.

A delicate ballad like a letter to one’s past self.

It’s a track included on the music duo BOL4’s mini album “Red Diary Page.1,” released in September 2017.

The gentle timbre of the guitar and Ahn Jiyoung’s translucent vocals carefully weave together the loneliness and anxiety of youth, and at times even feelings of self-denial.

Portraying, step by step, the heart’s shift toward facing forward through conflict and forgiveness, this piece was also featured on the audition program “PRODUCE X 101,” deeply moving many viewers.

When you’re feeling low or on the verge of losing yourself, this is a song that will stay close to your heart.

This is a song I’d recommend for a summer day when you want to take it slow.

It’s a slow number released by BOL4 in July 2023.

Singer-songwriter Ha Hyunsang took part, and his harmony with Ahn Jiyoung, along with the soft, resonant tone of the acoustic guitar, is incredibly soothing.

The lyrics, which depict a journey, are adorably expressed, and this track—so characteristic of BOL4—will gently heal you as a heartwarming summer song.

Try playing it while relaxing at a resort or unwinding with someone you love.

A classic by BOL4 that also became the title track of their Japanese debut album.

When I think of stylish songs, this one immediately comes to mind.

The lyrics, which depict a girl’s fluttering, lovestruck heart, are utterly lovely, wrapped in soft tones and vocals that feel like they could embrace everything.

The expression is so romantic—how wonderful.

It makes me miss the duo, but Jiyoung’s performance at the drive-in Lake Music Festival 2020 was also fantastic.

Perfect for when you want to feel light and fluffy at heart.
