Filipino SWITHs, get ready ASAP as we are getting closer to spending an astounding night with the girls!
As one of the leading K-pop girl groups in their generation, STAYC has steadily proved its burgeoning presence in the industry. While their popularity can be associated with their outstanding vocals and performance, we cannot deny the fact that their global acclaim stems from the group’s diverse discography.
As the STAYC 1st Fan Meeting in Manila is seven days away, we’ve rounded up seven STAYC songs to help you get into the festive mood while preparing to meet them! Make sure to include them in your daily playlist and you’re all set.
1. ASAP
Released in April 2021, “ASAP” is the banner track of their second single album STAYDOM. Through its catchy melody, this record-shattering piece managed to take South Korea and the global music scene by storm.
Candid and confident, the lyrics speak of longing to meet their soulmate and wanting that ideal person to appear and come into their lives as soon as possible.
Deemed as a summer jam, this hit track from STAYC will surely boost your mood with its upbeat and bouncy sound.
2. BEAUTIFUL MONSTER
Characterized with notable strings, claps, and woodwind sounds, “Beautiful Monster” is a stand-out among their releases. It serves as the title track of their third single album WE NEED LOVE.
Contrary to its beat-induced melody, the song delivers a somber message of how love is like a puzzle – complicated and frustrating.
The bittersweet lyrics “You hurt me and then you heal me” implies how their other half is a “Beautiful Monster.”
3. RUN2U
Reeling listeners with its striking force, STAYC’s “RUN2U” highlights the girls’ vocal prowess.
Coming from the group’s second extended play titled YOUNG-LUV.COM, this track talks about blindly falling in love with someone and the desire to be with that person by all means.
With its high-octane beat and non-linear dynamics, the song provides a fervent listening experience. This will surely pump you up in no time.
4. I LIKE IT
Incorporating refreshing tropical notes, “I LIKE IT” is a perfect jam for a summer drive. This b-side track is easily a stand-out from their third single album WE NEED LOVE.
Flowing with only feel-good vibes, this track will surely put you in a good mood for its buoyant melody. Prepare to get your heads bopping as this song contains a groovy beat. On top of that, it showcases the girls’ vocal and rapping abilities. What more could we ask for a song? “I LIKE IT” has it all!
5. SO BAD
While the K-pop retro trend is in full swing, STAYC marked their entrance to the K-pop industry with “SO BAD”, the headliner of their debut single album Star to a Young Culture.
Offering a passionate retro vibe, the lyrics speak of strong feelings of wanting someone so badly. The powerful vocals and consistent beat kicks made this electropop track beyond addictive.
6. STEREOTYPE
Brimming with positive ambiance and summery sounds, “STEREOTYPE” is a future bass piece fitting for the group. An instant-favorite, the track features sweet melodies and the members’ honeyed vocals.
This teen pop anthem from STAYC’s 1st mini album STEREOTYPE conveys that one should not judge people based on their outer appearance but rather look what’s inside.
7. POPPY
How can we leave out in this playlist their Japanese debut track “POPPY?”
Right off the bat, the track boasts its jaunty identity. Teeming with perky electronic beats and bubblegum melody, this Japanese track shows that fresh teen pop is STAYC’s genre.
In true STAYC fashion, the girls sing the catchy “Poppy, poppy, pop-poppy poppy poppy, love love” line. Watch out for some earworm and head-bopping moments.
