JealousyMONSTAX57rank/position

This “Jealousy” is a hit song released in March 2018 by MONSTA X, a popular Korean boy group.
While it carries an ’80s-inspired vibe, it blends elements like trap and future pop, resulting in a level of quality that still holds up perfectly well in the 2020s.
As the title suggests, the lyrics candidly depict a man’s jealousy, which many listeners might find both bitterly relatable and empathetic.
What’s especially interesting about “Jealousy” is that it actually mentions the name of a certain member in the lyrics; despite dealing with a downbeat theme, the way they slip in that playful touch shows real finesse!
AS IF IT’S YOUR LASTBLACKPINK58rank/position

The song “AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST” by BLACKPINK, a girl group from South Korea, is a significant milestone in their musical career.
It combines explosive energy with brightness, instantly captivating listeners.
In particular, the lyrics convey a powerful determination to express love wholeheartedly and live passionately in the present, as if it were one’s last love.
Genre-wise, it fuses elements of dance, synth-pop, house, reggae, and moombahton, setting it apart from BLACKPINK’s previous tracks.
“AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST” is a song that inspires the courage to step confidently into the future.
It’s recommended for those who want to reaffirm the importance of living each day to the fullest.
ABCDNAYEON59rank/position

A track that stands out with its popping rhythm and playful lyrics.
The fresh approach of cleverly using the alphabet to express love is fascinating.
It’s the title track of the mini-album “NA,” released in June 2024, and it even took first place on music shows.
Nayeon’s evolved performance really shines.
It’s packed with a charm that’s a bit different from TWICE, and you’re sure to discover a new side of her.
Perfect for those who want to be more proactive in love.
It also seems like a great song to boost your confidence and lift your spirits!
YES or YESTwice60rank/position

As the title suggests, there’s no such answer as “No” — she wants a reply of either “Yes” or “Yes.” It’s a love song that straightforwardly captures the bold, assertive feelings of a carnivorous-type girl.
The lyrics teasingly suggest that if you say “Yes,” things will get even more fun, and that you have no choice but to say “Yes.” But what’s refreshing is the sheer intensity of her feelings for the other person and her overwhelming confidence that being with her will make them happy.
That perspective, which isn’t typically found in Japanese ways of thinking, is intriguing.
To win at love, it might be worth trying a slightly assertive approach like in this song!
