IU is a cute South Korean singer-songwriter known as the “Nation’s Little Sister.” Before her debut, she went through a period of struggle—she failed auditions at major agencies and didn’t stand out as a trainee—but she rose to prominence as a solo singer on the strength of her talent.

Her stage name combines “I” and “You,” expressing the wish that “you and I become one through music.” Here, we present a ranking of her popular songs.

IU’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (41–50)

Midnight Walk (밤 산책)IU41rank/position

This song is striking for its depiction of deep nocturnal scenery and delicate emotional nuance.

The voice of popular singer-songwriter IU resonates as if seeping into the stillness of the night.

Set to a gentle piano melody, it carefully portrays the feeling of walking alone through the late-night streets while immersing oneself in past memories.

Released in March 2025 as part of the OST for the Korean drama “Good Job Today,” it is a heartwarming ballad that accompanies the life story of a girl and a boy set on Jeju Island.

It’s a song I highly recommend for sleepless nights or quiet moments when you’re thinking of someone dear—it will rest gently against your heart.

This is IU’s third single released in Japan.

It came out in 2013, and since it’s the Japanese edition, you can enjoy the rare treat of IU singing in Japanese.

The song seems to portray a somewhat complicated relationship: they’re not lovers anymore, but it’s not as if there’s nothing between them.

It feels like an exciting, fun time, yet thinking about their past together also brings a touch of sadness.

IU and Sulli, the former f(x) member who sadly passed away in 2019, met through TV appearances and were known for being close even in private.

Fans called Sulli “Peach,” which is likely why the song is titled “Peach.” From a male perspective, the lyrics shower Sulli with compliments—‘She’s so cute!’—overflowing with affection.

You can really feel how close they were.
