Songs
“Zombie” DAY6
While listening to it, it felt as if they wanted to tell their fans that it’s okay if life is not going the way we want it. They are trying to comfort them. Life sometimes gets hard and days become repetitive and you feel like a zombie. The vocals, melody, and lyrics are extraordinary.

As a fan, this song is just too perfect. No matter how many times you hear it, it is so addicting. The lyrics were just so accurate. The beginning was wonderful.

From the beginning to the ending, there was not a single point where I felt bored. SuperM always surprise us with new concept and new music. The high notes were so good. The choreography was amazing. This is one of the most epic songs of the year. The lyrics are motivating the viewers to aim high in life. Am I the only one who felt like this?

“Black swan” BTS
Black Swan crossed 220 Million Views. The meaning behind Black swan hits differently. I think they are trying to portray that if the things we love doing don’t make us happy it might feel that we have died our first death. They beautifully portrayed every meaning and depth into the lyrics.
“If this can no longer resonate,
No longer make my heart vibrate
Then like this may be how I die my first death”

From the start, it’s all ours”

“Candy” BAEKHYUN
Candy is one of my most favorite songs. It is less of music and more of a vibe. We all are familiar with Baekhyun vocals but let me appreciate them again. The lyrics are well written as well. It is just a perfect song for everyone. This song really got us all feel like pop rocks, strawberry, bubblegum.
“Tell me what you’re waiting for”

“Eight” IU & SUGA
One of the best collaboration of this year. This song is one of the best from 2020. The depth of the lyrics, the choreography, the flow and the music, everything was done so perfectly. It begins with so many questions “So are you happy now” This song has the happiest beat but the saddest lyrics.
“Everything comes and goes as they wish
Even without a goodbye,
If this is how things are,
I don’t want to love anyone again”

“Agust D” SUGA
A producer, a song-writer, and a rapper, there is nothing suga cannot do. Fans were waiting for this Mixtape for a long time and he finally released it on May 22, 2020. Suga has the courage to speak up his mind and this is exactly what he did in this song.
“Woo, who say time is money,
My time is worth more than that”

“From Home” NCT U
From home is one of those underrated songs which deserve so much attention. It’s a shame that this masterpiece is not getting attention. This song has a deep meaning, and the MV is just so beautiful. This shows that sometimes friends can our warming home. Sometimes friends can become our family too.
“Now the fear of getting lost
Even the days I feared of
Now it’s all gone and I
Found a reason to be myself”

It’s been a tough year but K-pop helped us get through this so let’s appreciate them for working so hard. We are going to enter in 2021 and we are looking forward to more K-pop songs.
