And don’t worry—for the heartbroken, lovesick, and hopeless romantics who are weary of love songs, we’ve got a few for you anti-romantics too!
Late Night Calls - P1Harmony Late Night Calls (Late Night Calls) “Late Night Calls” is a sweet message to a lover—a reminder that something as simple as hearing their voice can be enough to make your day. Pleasant vocals and an unassuming fingerstyle guitar give the song a mellow unplugged vibe before a dance beat falls in during the chorus, heightening the energy and making it impossible to resist playing on repeat. Planet Girl - Jooyoung (Feat. pH-1) Planet Girl (Feat. pH-1) (Planet Girl (Feat. pH-1)) A true RNB track, “Planet Girl” is an easy listen, falling sweetly on the ears as we’re blessed with flawless vocals from Jooyoung. The song features the ever talented rapper pH-1, and the contrast between his . Completely infatuated with a lover, the two go back and forth throughout the song, sultry vocals perfectly complimenting graceful raps. If there’s someone you just can’t quite get off your mind, this soulful composition is perfect for your playlist. Love Like This - SS501 [MV] SS501 _ Love Like This (네게로) “Love Like This” is a real throwback, and SS501 perfectly blends RNB and EDM in this release. In true early 2000’s fashion, the song desperately pleads for the attention of a girl they’ve set their eyes on. Calling her their “one true love”, they’ll stop at no end until she realizes that she’s the one for them. A bittersweet melody transforms into an upbeat EDM track during the chorus, and it’s truly the love song we all could use this Valentine’s Day. Cupid - FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY (피프티피프티) - 'Cupid' Official MV A clear-cut pick for your playlist, FIFTY FIFTY’s “Cupid” is the perfect song for Valentine’s Day this year. While the song starts out bittersweet, the lyrics become hopeful as the chorus begins, and the angelic melody is sure to warm the hearts of listeners. The song has been inescapable since it’s release, and as it nears it’s one year anniversary, this is the first Valentine’s Day we’ll get to celebrate with this song on repeat! I.L.Y - The Rose I.L.Y. “I.L.Y” is a tried and true love song, and chronicles the act of falling in love, and the feelings that accompany it. While the lyrics are rather hopeful, there’s a sense of anguish felt in the ernest and heartfelt vocals—delicate and serene voices drawing us into the song completely. Woosung’s vocals always adds a distinct flair to their music, not only making the group a standout, but adding a richness to each song that makes The Rose’s music unique, and “I.L.Y” especially heartbreaking. Only - LeeHi 이하이 (LeeHi) - 'ONLY' Official MV (ENG/CHN) If there’s one thing LeeHi does well, it’s love songs. “ONLY” is no exception—it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity, the gentle melody making her soothing vocals a standout. The song is melancholic, and LeeHi makes it clear that she desires something she can’t have, someone she can’t have. They’re just slightly out of reach, and yet she remains heartened, wanting nothing more than to have someone to call ‘hers’. Faded in My Last Song - NCT U Faded In My Last Song “Faded in My Last Song” isn’t so much about loving as it is about being able to let go. A somber piano melody starts off the song before a trap beat falls in underneath—an unassuming yet harmonious combination. As they struggle to let go of someone they’ve lost, the members go back and forth during the chorus, echoing eachothers sorrow. Making a promise that their lover will live forever in their memory, they can’t help but also remember the suffering they endured while they still had their lover by their side. She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not - Taemin She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not “She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not” is quite far from your traditional love song. In his own twisted take on love, Taemin serenades the listener, but it’s almost too late that you realize he’s fighting himself—stuck between wanting to believe his failing love remains salvageable while trying to find the courage to move on. The layered vocals in the chorus create a strong opposition to Taemin’s sole voice singing along, and he blends in until the very end, where his part breaks free in the form of heart-wrenching adlibs. The song comes to a head during the final chorus, where it fades to a final cry, and Taemin is struck with the realization that he has ultimately lost, and finds himself alone in the end. What are your favorite songs to listen to during the season of love?
