Delivered through a special collaboration between global stars BTS and Ed Sheeran, “Permission to Dance” carries a bright, uplifting sound and a message that says, “It’s okay to be yourself,” making you want to start dancing just by listening.
The choreography incorporates international sign language, making it appealing in how everyone can enjoy it together.
It’s an encouraging anthem that energizes you with the BTS members’ clear, expansive vocals.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you’re feeling down or troubled by something.
Released in July 2021, it became a hot topic, with the official music video reaching 72 million views on its first day.
Dramaaespa92rank/position
The title track of the 4th mini-album, “Drama,” released in November 2023.
It’s a hip-hop tune with a strikingly aggressive attitude and a powerful hook reminiscent of their early days.
While it remains easy to listen to, that signature aespa addictiveness is very much alive.
The song carries a strong message about creating a new drama, delivering both aespa’s cool charisma and an empowering boost.
The performance is also notable for its strength, creating a compelling contrast with their sleek style and visuals.
LIKEYTwice93rank/position
“LIKEY,” the title track included on TWICE’s first full-length album released in October 2017, showcases a fresh, idol-like cuteness.
The choreography is adorable and memorable, with catchy moves that are easy to copy.
The chorus features many hand movements, so paying attention to your fingertips will make it even better! There’s also a dance break in the latter half with girls’ hip-hop choreography; dancing big and powerfully will build hype right before the final chorus, so be sure to keep that in mind!
Spicyaespa94rank/position
“Spicy,” the lead track from aespa’s 2023 mini-album, is a pop song with a heavy beat.
The choreography for the chorus has a feminine touch while being catchy and making you want to copy it.
At the start of the chorus, coordinating the hand movements with the hip motions makes it look clean.
Overall, it’s a feminine style of girls’ hip-hop, so it’s good to focus on fluidity in your body and hands.
I think it will look even better if you refine the silhouette all the way to your fingertips and arm shapes, so try checking your angles in the mirror!
Kill This LoveBLACKPINK95rank/position
A track that embodies the essence of BLACKPINK, featuring powerful horns and marching drums.
Released in April 2019, it captivates with a distinctive soundscape that incorporates trap elements.
With vocals and rap that showcase the unique personalities of the four members, the song expresses a strong resolve to break away from a toxic relationship.
The music video set a new record at the time for K-pop girl groups, garnering 56.7 million views on YouTube within 24 hours.
