[MV] Crush(크러쉬) _ Outside (Feat. Beenzino)

A summer song by Crush released in 2017.

Sometimes when you wake up in the morning, you find yourself imagining what kind of day it’s going to be, right? This song captures that sense of anticipation for the day while embracing the idea of enjoying things just as they are.

It’s not the most elegant expression, but in Korea there’s a phrase for cutting loose and having an all-out wild time: “to play like a dog,” and that became the theme for the production.

Its fresh, cool vibe evokes a slice of summer vacation! Just like Duyu, the pup who appears in the music video, it’s the perfect companion for an unforgettable holiday!

Crush (크러쉬) – ‘미워 (Ego)’ MV

A mid-tempo track included on R&B artist Crush’s third full-length album, “wonderego,” which features a number of timeless songs.

Its distinctive tempo feels soothing, and the lyrics—depicting the many emotions of love—leave a strong impression.

It might even capture that feeling of being hopelessly, overwhelmingly in love.

It’s an adorable song, especially if you listen while watching the music video featuring Crush himself.

Crush (크러쉬) – ‘놓아줘 (with 태연)’ MV

A duet with Taeyeon from before Crush enlisted! It’s included on the EP “with HER,” which features collaborations with various female artists.

The song portrays a heart that has lost its tenderness and is a breakup song about deciding to end things.

The simple wording lets the lyrics sink in smoothly.

With Crush’s sweet vocals, it has a somewhat relaxed vibe, but that gentle mood can still unexpectedly tug at your heartstrings.

The back-and-forth between the two is truly beautiful…

[MV] Crush(크러쉬) _ SOFA(소파)

This is a song released in 2014 by Crush, the R&B singer famous for “Beautiful.” It’s a beautiful ballad with lovely strings.

It’s a breakup song, describing sitting alone on the sofa they once shared and wishing for their lover to come back.

If you truly loved someone, you can’t forget them no matter how hard you try.

If you listen to this right after a breakup, I think you’ll relate so much that you won’t be able to stop crying.

Jungkook from BTS also did a wonderful cover, so be sure to check that out too.

Sleepless NightCrush13rank/position

[괜찮아 사랑이야 OST Part 3] 크러쉬 (Crush) – 잠 못드는 밤 (Feat.펀치 (Punch)) (Sleepless Night)

The drama It’s Okay, That’s Love aired in 2014.

One of its well-known songs is Sleepless Night.

It’s a collaboration between Crush and Punch, and as the title suggests, it’s a track themed around a sleepless night.

It portrays a woman sinking into the sorrow of a broken heart after getting into bed at night.

The lyrics in that part are also appealing for their use of metaphors unlike anything you’ve heard before.

When you listen, you’ll likely think, “I see—yes, it does feel like that,” and find it relatable.
