1. SF9 - ‘Summer Breeze’
Without a doubt, the best song to kick off a music festival playlist and set the mood for the time of your life is SF9’s ‘Summer Breeze’. The fresh vigour of the song will hype you up and enchant you at the same time as you lose yourself in SF9’s charms. ‘Summer Breeze’ gives us major Coachella vibes, and we’re living for it!
2. NCT 127 - ‘Lemonade’
Summer and ‘Lemonade’ go hand-in-hand, and so do Coachella and NCT 127. We cannot wait to see them take on the stage live, but until then, this playlist will suffice! The smooth groove of ‘Lemonade’ will have you swaying in no time!
3. BTS - ‘Dionysus’
Nothing gets the heart beating faster than the godly power of ‘Dionysus’ by BTS. This song, in and of itself, is a force to be reckoned with. Just the image of BTS tearing up the Coachella stage with a live performance of ‘Dionysus’ is enough to give us goosebumps.
4. ATEEZ - ‘Fireworks (I’m The One)’
No matter where you are while listening to this playlist, ATEEZ’s ‘Fireworks (I’m The One)’ will mentally transport you to Coachella. With a hypnotizing beat and even more striking vocals that draw you in, this song perfectly showcases why ATEEZ remains unrivaled as the 4th generation “it” boy group of K-Pop.
5. iKON - ‘B-DAY’
When it comes to owning the stage, no one does it like iKON. Pumped with energy and adrenaline, ‘B-DAY’ is the type of song to make you headbang your worries away. Every day can be your birthday if iKON is here to celebrate.
6. BIGBANG’s G-Dragon & TaeYang - ‘Good Boy’
BIGBANG puts the “Coach” in “Coachella” because everyone needs to take notes from ‘Good Boy’ by G-Dragon and TaeYang. With one of the most addictive hooks in the history of K-Pop, ‘Good Boy’ will have you starting a dance party even if you’re by yourself.
7. Stray Kids - ‘Domino’
What’s a good music festival without a solid diss track? Stray Kids’ ‘Domino’ is the perfect clapback to haters and a reminder of who’s boss. Trendsetters at their best, Stray Kids make sure you know that their iconic status is unparalleled. After all, their musical identity is so original that it might as well be a genre.
8. EXO - ‘Monster’
Finally, closing out this playlist is the ultimate K-Pop song to make a crowd go wild: ‘Monster’ by EXO. Even after 6 years since its release, ‘Monster’ continues to be one of the best songs in EXO’s discography. From composition to vocals, rap to choreography, this song has everything, and we’re obsessed! It would be a dream come true to see EXO perform ‘Monster’ at Coachella one day, hopefully in the near future. Did you enjoy this week’s Mood Playlist? Which other songs would you add to it?
