Love Wins All by IU
IU’s ballad masterpiece makes you ache just as much as it soothes a broken heart. Emotional catharsis is inevitable on hearing this epic melody that instantly transports you to a Disney wonderland.
1000 Miles THE NEW SIX
“Never going to stop / Walk a thousand miles with you. THE NEW SIX’s soothing tune is about love becoming a healing balm when the right person walks in. It accentuates the essence of commitment in a relationship, which comes easily when you find someone who can find the best in you, letting you breathe as your true self.
Still With You by Jungkook
The jazzy ballad by BTS’ youngest member takes a page out of a different book than the usual pop inspirations of the artist. Its rainy soundscape offers the perfect escape to a romantic bubble furnished with Jungkook’s unbeatable vocals that induce goosebumps.
Lovin’ Me FIFTY FIFTY
“No matter how I look like, loving me”. In a world that races after relationships for someone to find their “other half”, FIFTY FIFTY highlights the importance of finding that missing piece in oneself. The synth-pop tune bridges the musical journey from the past generations to the new age.
Let Me In by EXO
EXO’s atmospheric masterclass of a track is a vocal sensation. The slow ballad’s dreamy waves transport you to a melancholic rainy aesthetic; the sense of deep longing highlighted in the vocals is palpable even if you’re unaware of the lyrics.
Finale by Day6
“Please be my finale”. This Japanese single is an uplifting pop-rock track that guides you along a love story that seeks to find its “happy ending”. As opposed to many Day6 songs singing of heartbreaks, this one makes you want to chase your own happy-ever-after, despite how cliche it may sound.
Beautiful by Crush
Not including this classic song from the Goblin OST would’ve been a tragedy. The timeless love song again promises unwavering commitment. Romanticising love as much as possible, it signifies the effervescent goodness of having someone by your side: “If I am with you under the sun / Even just breathing feels good”.
Gravity by Taeyeon
Transferring the meaningful metaphor of gravity to the idea of love, Taeyeon’s song helps you find an anchor in this feeling when you may otherwise feel exhausted by everything around you. While fighting through one’s battles is part of life, having someone by your side definitely helps ease the aching pain.
Like We Just Met by NCT DREAM
Even though this slow Kpop ballad evokes the cliche image of paying homage to the group’s fanbase for sticking with the members through it all, its soft melody has a cushioning effect. Though coming alive in the usual K-pop fashion, its cliche quality offers a sense of affirming security that aligns with many rom-com movies now having become part of a comfort-watch list.
I Got You by TWICE
There’s no need to feel down if you don’t have a Valentine this year. You can always have a Galentine’s Day. TWICE I Got You is a synth-pop single that reminds you of the simple and reassuring wholesomeness of friendships and platonic love. Romantic love may not be by your side, but a good friend will always be there to help you find your way through the toughest journeys.
