K-pop Songs That Hit Different When You're Sad (With Explainations)

[lynch.]

Days Gone By - DAY6
This song especially makes me sad since i miss OT6 DAY6,
but for me it also brings backs memories of better times.

Butterfly - BTS
This song is gentle and more of a slow and relaxed song, and I
think that's why it gets me

I Will Go To You Like The First Snow - Ailee
This song especially makes me sad since it is about love, and
for a reason that i don't know how to explain, love songs just make me sad

Forever Rain - RM (BTS)
The rain, the piano, it just makes me think about
staring out the window on a rainy night. Sadness 100

The Best Thing I Ever Did - Twice
This has to be one of my favorite Twice title tracks of all time, the song
isn't bubbly and happy like most of their title tracks, this song is mellow and calm and that's why I
have such a soft spot for this song. This is the only Christmas/festive themed
song i would be willing to listen to in the Summer.


should i make a part two??​

Hellevator. I mean, the song is sad by itself, but in my depressed moments it just makes me sob.
Also, Loser by Bigbang, because, well, I feel like a loser. Thank You by Got7, I don't know why. It just makes me... Regretful.

 

[chim min]

- fallin' - kim feel: this song describes my life perfectly. it hits deep about feeling alone and longing for someone.(btw this is an OST but i still wanted to include it because it's my go to cry-along song)

-the truth untold-BTS: this song is about not being good/attractive enough for a lover and sometimes i be feeling like that.

-epilogue: young forever- BTS: this song makes me wanna stay young forever, and it makes me not want to grow older.

there's some more, but i can't think at the moment

raise y_our glass - OH CMON YOUR LYING IF U HAVENT CRIED TO THIS SONG

secret secret- the lyric
"I let my frustrated voices out hoping that they’d be washed away in the rain"
MAKES ME SOB

chill- skz
when I'm in a bad friendship, I ALWAYS listen to this song

queen of hearts- twice
this is the song which cheers me up when Im sad
it rlly just makes me feel like "you can do anything" and "the past doesn't define who u are as a person" "you can change" "have goals"

Sour grapes - a toxic friendship

pied piper- it makes me realize how much kpop has taken over my life honestly

Goblin by Sulli
Idk how to explain it, it's so dreamy yet melancholy. The MV portrays someone living with dissociative disorder. The sound of the entire EP is like watching Alice in the Wonderland but with a somber ending

Maze in the Mirror by TXT
This song was written by Beomgyu during his trainee period. It's about his fear that everyone will leave him behind and his fear of lacking and letting everyone down. "Please don't give up on me"

FLOWERLD by Billlie
I bawl my eyes out to this and idek why it's just so emotional to me.

Memoria by GFRIEND
It sounds so sad yet hopeful it's my go-to when I am feeling sad and want something to lift my spirits

Survive the night by The Boyz
If u ever got dumped and need something to motivate u to move on in a healthy way, this is the song

Levanter by SKZ, Impurtities by Le Sserafim, I Just by Red Velvet, Epiphany by Jin
I put them all together for the same reason: HEALING!

Empty Room by Lee Bada
For when u want to just bask yourself in the sadness for awhile

 

[1fool4you]

peacemaker - piwon
day and night - jung seung hwan
shes in the rain - the rose
my universe - seungmin, in
moonchild - rm

 

[yunaing]

Cause It’s You - Red Velvet
Usually I listen to this song before I sleep because it’s really peaceful and sweet. But when I’m sad and listen to it I just want to cry because the vibe is sad already

That’s the only one that really comes to me immediately

Dilemma - Apink!
THS SONG IS SUCH A BOP but.. it gives me nostalgic vibes when im upset or mad.

Dittio - NewJeans!
