Kpop Summer Playlist: Kpop fans, get ready to update your summer playlists with some fantastic new tracks from your favourite girl groups! Here are seven songs that will keep you dancing and singing along all summer long.
LIKE THAT by BABYMONSTER:
BABYMONSTER's LIKE THAT, a B-side track from their debut mini-album, is a pop gem that's bound to be on repeat. The catchy tune, penned by none other than Charlie Puth, features easy-to-remember English lyrics. The members, hailing from Korea, Japan and Thailand, showcase impressive vocal prowess in this track. Both the rap and vocal lines deliver commendable performances. The choreography is minimal yet unique, making it a perfect fit for any summer playlist.
Magnetic by ILLIT:
Magnetic, the lead single from ILLIT's debut extended play Super Real Me, dropped on March 25, 2024. Released by Belift Lab, this song quickly gained commercial success, dominating music charts and going viral on TikTok and Instagram. The hand choreography, involving intricate finger movements, became a social media sensation due to its deceptively simple yet tricky steps. Magnetic is a must-add for its infectious beat and memorable dance moves.
Bubble Gum, How Sweet & Right Now by NewJeans:
NewJeans has gifted us with two delightful tracks, Bubble Gum and How Sweet, from their single album How Sweet, released on May 24, 2024. Bubble Gum premiered with a fun music video on April 27, showcasing the girls having a blast at the beach. The girl group's latest release on June 16 is a song that effortlessly combines Korean, Japanese and English lyrics and features the lovely vocals of the members. The song embodies teenage angst and an impatient vibe, as Hanni struggles to confess her true feelings (in the MV) while the members try to play Cupid and help her just like real-life girl besties do all the time!
Following the tradition set by their previous winter hit Ditto (the song is a true gift to Kpop), these songs perfectly capture the summer vibe (the songs released by the group seem to match the season's vibes). The cheerful tunes and playful lyrics are sure to lift your spirits and bring a smile to your face.
HEYA by IVE:
IVE's latest release, HEYA, adds to their string of hits like After Like, Love Dive and Eleven. This energetic track is all about motivation and determination. The empowering lyrics, “Hey sun / It's time to swallow you in a bite (I can't resist; Yeah) / It's already my victory (When I see you, I can't resist) / To the blazing sun rising up / The moment you're enchanted, I'll bite,” inspire listeners to conquer any challenge. Let HEYA pump you up and get you moving this summer.
