POWER OF LOVE

Get your tissues ready as this one hits directly right in the feels like any other K-Pop ballad or love song out there. Boasting a hopeful sound and message, this song will definitely bring out all sorts of emotions from every listener through its heartfelt lyrics. As its name suggests, “Power of Love” talks about what a person can do for the love. It specifically details the excitement of meeting your one true love.

Released in May 2022, this song unleashed ALICE’s elegant image and powerful vocals. The subtle and creative choreography that accompanies this song made it even better. Lines like “My melody, the day I reach you/ I’ll fly away, joy fills up/ On this long, difficult road/ In your arms that hugged me/ I’ll make you shine like this” and “The river of tears endures/ Even if I am blocked by the great mountain of despair/ Because of you, in the radiant universe inside me/ A flower of hope that spreads endlessly” encapsulate the meaning of the song perfectly.

Though its a soft song, “Power of Love” is one of ALICE’s best releases to date. It gave emphasis to their chemistry and heavenly vocals. It’s also their most recent song so there is a high chance that the group will perform it live during the concert.

TOO BAD

Who says cute concepts are overrated? Well, “TOO BAD” WEi excels in it! This song gives off nothing but good energy and positive vibes. It is the kind of song you’ll want to listen to in the morning or when you are getting ready for something, like a concert. It creates a carefree and bright atmosphere and can act as an instant mood booster during your bad days.

Posing as a sweet serenade, “TOO BAD” talks about the feelings of an indivisual who is about to confess to someone he likes. What made this song more catchy is its accompanying music video. It is creative, and at the same time colorful and fun. The choreography also fits well with the catchy beats of the track.

Lyrics like “The light that filled me/ We are almost to paradise/ Hold on, hold on/ Let me introduce myself/ Starting from the end/ You’re the reason that I dream/ In my uncaring heart an oasis is blooming” can instantly make listeners’ hearts flutter.

No doubt, this is a must hear for RUIs who will attend the event, and even fans of other groups who want to have a taste of WEi’s unique discography.

HELLO FUTURE

“Hello Future” might not be NCT Dream’s most recent song yet it left a great impact in the industry, which is why it deserves a spot in this list. Coming directly from the group’s repackage album of the same name in 2021, this is a fun song to listen to when the day seems to be only going down.

The lyrics invites listener to continue to be hopeful about the future and forget their worries because everything will fall into place eventually. Its satisfying beats, smooth flowing choreography, and futuristic sound made the song more remarkable. The chorus sticks to the head, while its rhythm go well with any season.

Haechan, Renjun, Chenle definitely nailed their parts with their honey-like vocals, while Mark, Jisung, Jeno, Jaemin left fans in awe with their rap verses, per usual. With a message as beautiful as the idols themselves, this is surely a must-hear for old and new NCTzens, who have been waiting to meet one of their favorite groups in person.

HATE THAT

Last but not the least, we have “Hate That…” by none other than the two aces of the K-Pop industry, KEY and Taeyeon. Released in August 2021 as the pre-release for his album BAD LOVE, this song may have a melancholic message but its guitar melody is extremely chill and catchy.

Falling under the R&B genre, “Hate That…” expresses the selfish hopes of a person for his or her ex-lover to refrain from being happy. Taeyeon and KEY’s harmonization in the track stood out, further proving why they are one of the talented idols in the industry.

Listening to this song is definitely a must for those who want to hear KEY’s incredible vocal techniques and impressive singing style. Lines such as “And I hate that I hate/ That you’re happy without me/ And I pray and I pray/ I want you to be painful as much as I do baby/ I can feel the breakup falling apart alone” are very pleasing to the ears and can instantly leave listeners in vocal heaven.
