SHINee’s classic and popular songs

An Ode To YouSHINee

[Traditional Chinese subtitles] SHINee (샤이니) – An ode to you Become Your Song (너의 노래가 되어)

Jonghyun wrote the lyrics.

It’s said to be a song for Onew.

In 2014, Onew underwent surgery to remove throat polyps and couldn’t use his voice for a while, and he even considered leaving SHINee.

I believe the members supported him through that difficult time.

This song is thought to carry the feelings from that period.

SymptomsSHINee

샤이니_상사병 (Symptoms by SHINee@Mcountdown 2013.10.10)

This is a track from the album “Everybody,” released in 2013.

Jonghyun wrote the lyrics.

He poured his entire being into the song as he depicted himself drowning in love, and the way he sings—so full of anguish—even makes you feel as though he’s trembling with the fear of what would happen if he let her go.

SHINee 샤이니 ‘Ring Ding Dong’ MV

This song is characterized by an irresistibly catchy phrase and memorable choreography.

It’s included on SHINee’s mini-album “2009, Year of Us,” released in October 2009.

The lyrics portray the complex emotions of a man who has fallen in love, with his feelings for the one he loves encapsulated in the phrase “Ring Ding Dong.” The track created a major buzz in the Korean music scene and continues to be cherished as one of SHINee’s signature songs.

It’s a perfect pick for those struggling with love or anyone who needs an energy boost.

Sleepless NightSHINee

샤이니_떠나지 못해 (Sleepless Night by SHINee@Mcountdown 2013.5.23)

This is a song included on an album released in South Korea in 2013.

It sings about sleepless nights spent thinking of someone, featuring a calm vocal delivery and beautiful harmonies that are soothing to listen to.

The melody has a quiet atmosphere, making it perfect before bedtime.

Be sure to pay attention to Minho’s low-tone rap as well.

ViewSHINee

SHINee 샤이니 ‘View’ MV

The title track from the 2015 album “Odd,” with lyrics written by Jonghyun.

SHINee’s delicate vocals over a house sound leave a strong impression.

In the music video, SHINee are kidnapped by girls and end up forgetting their lives as idols, partying to the fullest in a story-driven plot.

It ends with the sound of police sirens, giving it an ambiguous, thought-provoking finish.

For SHINee, simply having fun is a beautiful “View,” but in the end they’re brought back to reality.

One could interpret the song as suggesting that SHINee performing in front of their fans is a new “View” from the fans’ perspective.

For a thousand years, stay by my side forever…SHINee

SHINee – “A Thousand Years, Always Stay by My Side…” Music Video

From the title, I expected a lonely, sad song, but the lyrics are full of hope and the track has a lively bounce.

It pleasantly defied my expectations.

The imagery evoked by the words drew me straight into the world of the music video.

The slightly painful yet moving MV unfolds like a self-contained drama.

Like A FireSHINee

Like A Fire

This is a song included on an album released in South Korea in 2013.

It’s a track that likens the singer’s feelings for the other person to fire, expressing the heat of those emotions to a short, driving rhythm.

The “Oh No!” and “Hot Hot” parts are crowd-pleasers that get audiences hyped at concerts.

The sections about not being able to convey one’s feelings well shift to a slightly calmer melody, letting you feel the emotional build-up.
