So, here’s a list of K-pop songs that might just get you in the Valentine’s mood!
P.S. Even if you’re single, don’t worry—these songs alone are enough to make your heart flutter. No date required!
1. ‘Just One Day’ – BTS
A B-side track from BTS’s 2014 album ‘Skool Luv Affair,’ this song is about a simple wish—what you’d do if you had just one day with the person you love.
For ARMYs, the chorus of ‘Just One Day’ is unforgettable. The line—“하루만 너와 내가 함께할 수 있다면” (Haruman neowa naega hamkkehal su itdamyeon)—which means “If only I could spend just one day with you,” is one that many fans know by heart.
The soft harmonies and warm melodies show a different, more tender side of BTS, making it a perfect track for Valentine’s Day.
Fun Fact: Did you know Suga wrote this while he was in the hospital recovering from appendicitis? That just makes it even more special!
2. ‘Cupid’ – FIFTY FIFTY
By now, almost everyone has heard of this song. ‘Cupid’ became a global K-pop sensation thanks to its addictive melody. It’s a cute, bubblegum pop song that tells the story of a young girl dealing with unrequited love and the embarrassment that comes with it.
This one is for all the hopeless romantics out there—because let’s be honest, who hasn’t felt this way at least once?
3. ‘Polaroid Love’ – ENHYPEN
You know that butterflies-in-your-stomach kind of love? The one that makes everything feel brighter and a little sweeter like you’re walking on air? Come on, you’ve felt that at least once, right? Well, ‘Polaroid Love’ by ENHYPEN captures exactly that.
It’s a song that reminds you of the simple, innocent moments of falling in love. If you’re someone who loves to reminisce about those early days of a crush—or maybe you’re going through it right now—this song will hit you right in the feels.
4. ‘Euphoria’ – BTS’ Jungkook
From BTS’ ‘LOVE YOURSELF 結 ‘Answer” album, ‘Euphoria’ is a solo song by Jungkook, and honestly, it feels like a musical love letter. Jungkook’s dreamy vocals and the heartfelt lyrics can transport you to a whole different world—a world where you can’t help but think, if only someone could sing this to me the way Jungkook does, I’d feel on top of the world.
5. ‘Love Wins All’ – IU
If there’s a song that feels like a 16-episode K-drama packed into five minutes, it’s ‘Love Wins All’ by IU. Starring BTS’ V, this cinematic masterpiece tells the story of a girl who’s deaf and mute and a boy who’s blind in one eye, fighting against all odds to be together.
The “magic camera” in the song represents how love changes the way we see the world. Even though the ending is heartbreaking, the song reminds us that love is worth fighting for.
6. ‘Some’ – BOL4
No matter which fandom you belong to, ‘Some’ is one of those songs that every K-pop fan knows. It’s a classic for anyone who has ever had a crush, perfectly capturing that exciting yet nerve-wracking moment before confessing your feelings.
With its sweet, melodic sound, it’s one of those tracks that never gets old, no matter how many times you listen to it.
7. ‘What Is Love?’ – TWICE
No K-pop Valentine’s playlist would be complete without a TWICE song, right?
From crushes and confessions to heartbreaks, TWICE’s discography is filled with tracks that capture different shades of love. Songs like ‘Cheer Up,’ ‘Signal,’ and ‘Feel Special’ have become anthems for K-pop fans who love romantic music, but ‘What Is Love?’ stands out as a fan favorite.
What makes this song even more special is its iconic music video, which features famous scenes from classic romantic movies, both from Hollywood and Asian cinema.
8. ‘0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)’ – TXT (feat. Seori)
TXT teamed up with South Korean singer Seori for this unique track, and who would have thought that blending pop-punk vibes with emotional lyrics could create such an intense and exhilarating song?
The lyrics “I know I love you” feel like a desperate declaration—proving that love can exist even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. If you’ve ever felt like love is the only thing keeping you grounded, this song is for you.
9. ‘Love Me Right’ – EXO
‘Love Me Right’ is one of those songs that’s iconic for anyone who’s heard it. The moment D.O. hits that high note (“Bamhaneureul neowa naegaaaaaaa”), you can feel the raw emotion and essence of the song.
Released in 2015, ‘Love Me Right’ is all about the excitement of being in love and wanting that love to be reciprocated. After all, isn’t that what we all want—to love and be loved in return?
10. ‘Eyes, Nose, Lips’ – Taeyang
Okay, so this one isn’t a happy, lovey-dovey song. In fact, it’s a heartbreaking ballad about missing someone you once loved. But let’s be real—Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples.
For those who are still holding onto a past love, ‘Eyes, Nose, Lips’ is a song that understands you. It’s raw, emotional, and painful. This track is a touching tribute to the one who is still in your heart.
