I want my crush to look only at me! This is an irresistibly catchy dance track by DECO*27 that explodes with cute possessiveness.

Over a comic, high-speed beat accented by cowbell, the lyrics portray sweet-and-sour feelings of love and daring wordplay that will set your heart racing.

HANA / BAD LOVE -Music Video-

“I believed in you, but you betrayed me.” “It’s precisely because I loved you so much that I can’t forgive you.” There are nights when you’re shaken by such fierce emotions.

With members JISOO and MOMOKA contributing to the lyrics, this work portrays a struggle where love and hate are intertwined.

The vocals riding on the intense beats of rock and drum & bass carry a force that seems to speak for a wounded heart.

Released in September 2025, it also drew attention as a commercial tie-in song.

It’s a track we especially want those who spent a bittersweet Valentine’s Day—one that couldn’t end with only sweet memories—to hear.

Why not let all your anger and sadness out and transform them into the energy you need to look forward?

I just had a love sadder than anyone else’s.Flower68rank/position

Flower “Just a Love Sadder Than Anyone Else’s” out 9/14. Best album: “THIS IS Flower THIS IS BEST.”

This song is truly heartbreaking! It makes you cry! It’s perfect for people going through unrequited love, being cheated on by a boyfriend, or finding out the person they like already has a girlfriend—those kinds of heartbreak.

It’s sad and painful, but I think it’s also a song that, in some way, looks forward and stays positive.

The warm acoustic guitar and her gentle vocals soothe a chilled heart.

Even if giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day doesn’t go well, this is a song that makes you glad you fell in love.

“Do we even need any reaction other than ‘sweet’?” That’s the feeling this song gives.

It vividly portrays the sweetness of love and the events that feel monumental to the person experiencing them.

With clean breaks, a melody that makes you want to hum along, and lyrics that are easy to remember.

It might just be the perfect song to sing lightly to give yourself a little courage.
