Psyko’s Top 10 Kpop Songs released in 2021

This is based on what I listened to the most this year and is excluding any songs sung in any language other than Korean (ex. English or Chinese)

10. Alcohol-free by TWICE

I think the reason I listened to this so much is because I liked doing the dance. TWICE’s korean title tracks were definitely weaker than their Japanese/English releases but this era gave us back Jeongyeon and a better DTNA concept.

9. BEcause - Dreamcatcher

I also really liked the dance to this song. I’ve really loved what Dreamcatcher has been putting out lately and this is no exception. This beginning of the chorus is toned down and smooth and ramps up to the rock sound Dreamcatcher is known for.

8. Next Level by aespa

The bridge of this song was really what brought me in. I’m a Ningning bias so whenever she just gets the chance to belt, I’ll always be a fan. Plus, I also enjoyed doing the dance.

7. After School by Weeekly

These girls have been on my radar since their BOMB debut with “Tag Me”. This song is just fun, and I think emulates the bouncy but laidback energy I really love in girl group songs. Another song where I loved to do the dance. 

6. Hello Future by NCT Dream

Another incredible vocal performance. I absolutely love it when they just let the boys, especially Haechan, just go wild on the riffs. The last like 15 secs of the song is full of beautiful harmonies and riffs. Truth is I only really started listening to this song because my best friend was obsessed with “Hot Sauce” and wanted to only listen to NCT Dream, but I grew to really love this song.

5. Advice by Taemin

Now I’m a big fan of falsetto in kpop songs, and Taemin really lured me in with this song. He really is one of the best male soloists and I don’t really think anyone is doing it like he is.

4. Love So Sweet by Cherry Bullet

I got really into Cherry Bullet during their debut but fell off after they lost a few members. When Girls Planet 999 began airing, Kim Bora immediately captured my attention and I decided to give Cherry Bullet another chance. And I’m so glad I did. Love So Sweet was one of the best girl group releases of the year. A funky beat that just makes you want to move, and a concept that brought Cherry Bullet back to their roots. Also, I will forever be salty that Bora didn’t make it into the Kep1er line up.

3. Silent Cry by Stray Kids

The best B-side of the year. This song makes me feeling like I’m running through a field and falling through the air at the same time. The instrumental at the end of the bridge brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it.

2. Gambler by Monsta X

Now Monsta X is my ult group, but even I can admit that “Love Killa” was a bit of a let down. Gambler was the shot of adrenaline that these boys needed to get back on top. Of course, we got my baby Joohoney singing again, which I always love. Plus, Hyungwon in the center of the dance break was incredible. I really think this was one of his best eras.

1. Unnatural by WJSN

Now I only barely got in to WJSN after playing Superstar: Starship, but I was utterly obsessed with everything about this comeback. The sexier concept for a typically cutesy group, the lull of the prechorus before it jumps into the chorus. Yeonjung’s vocals, the dance that I was somehow able to learn. This was the best girl group comeback of the year and I’m seriously upset that it didn’t get more recognition.

Psyko’s Top 10 Kpop Songs Sung in a Different Language and Released in 2019

This list is based on what I listened to the most. I’m including songs sung by a Kpop group or if they were performed at a korean stage.

10. Losing You by WONHO

This song was the first song released by ex-Monsta X member Wonho following his scandal in October of 2019. Fans has speculated that he was learning english to prepare for his solo debut, but no one expected his first song released to be an English ballad. Not gonna lie, some tears were shed.

9. Put it on Ya by Jessi feat. BM, nafla

This was my favorite song off of the album that skyrocketed Jessi to the success she has deserved. Because Jessi and BM are able to rap in their native languages, there’s just a little bit more swag to it which it why I think I enjoyed it so much.

8. 100 Ways by Jackson Wang

Jackson never disappoints when it comes to the beat of his songs. They’re bouncy and easy to dance to, which is probably why I listened to this so often. Plus the fudal warlord aesthetic was super attractive in the music video.

7. Happy Without Me by Monsta X

It’s not secret that I am of fan of Jooheon as a vocalist, and I think this was one of the best songs off of their English album “All About Luv” that demonstrated his singing ability. When Jooheon just gets to riff, it automatically makes the song better.

6. Pretty Please by Jackson Wang

The only reason I put this song above “100 Ways” is because it is physically impossible not to dance during the chorus.

5. You Can’t Hold My Heart by Monsta X

This song is able to more fully put on display the vocals of each member in Monsta X, which is why I enjoyed it so much. Kihyun and Jooheon also kill the pre-chorus.

4. Dream of You by ChungHa feat. REHAB

ChungHa is another one of those artists who seems to fly under the radar for me, but whenever I listen to her songs, I adore them. This song has some sort of sexy dancability that makes it fun to perform in the shower.

3. Levanter (English Ver.) by Stray Kids

I know a rule for me in the past with these lists had to be that they were original songs and not just translations but this song changed my mind on that. This song is just beautiful, and for me, actually being able to understand the lyrics just really hit home for me. Incredible vocals, incredible lyrics, stray kids are winning.

2. I Can’t Stop Me (English Ver.) by TWICE

This is Twice’s first English release of an already released original song, and it is fantastic. The lyrics are deep and don’t just sound like they were put through google translate. Plus I love singing to it.

1. Dynamite by BTS

I really put off listening to this song for a while because I tend not to listen to songs that have a lot of hype surrounding them. But when I did get around to listening to this song, I understood why everyone was raving about it. It’s one of BTS’s best songs. It’s fun and encompasses all the reasons why ARMYs love BTS. The dance isn’t too difficult to learn, but it so fun to perform. I was blown away.
