While revamping my playlist lately, I rediscovered a treasure trove of Akdong Musician (more popularly known as AKMU) songs! These gems completely took me back, reminding me why I fell in love with their music in the first place. So, inspired, I decided to put together a list of feel-good AKMU tracks guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
For the uninitiated, AKMU is a South Korean sibling duo consisting of Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun. They skyrocketed to fame after winning the second season of K-Pop Star back in 2014. Their signature sound blends pop, rock, and folk influences, creating a unique and infectious energy. The themes in their lyrics often center around love, youth, and hope, making their music incredibly relatable and uplifting.
Here are some of AKMU’s most upbeat tracks that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face:
“Give Love”(2014)
Give Love is a bright and cheerful song about the importance of giving love to others. The song features a catchy melody and positive lyrics that will leave you feeling happy and inspired. If you are a Kpop fan from the first and second generation, it’s a sure that you’ve heard this song being covered by an idol group before.
“Last Goodbye”(2017)
This is a more sentimental song, but it still has an uplifting message. The song is about saying goodbye to someone you love, but knowing that the memories you shared will always stay with you. One thing that I surely love about AKMU is that they can totally spin a sad song into a lighter version.
“Dinosaur”(2017)
A fun and playful song about feeling like a dinosaur in a world that seems to be moving too fast. The song’s quirky lyrics and energetic sound will make you want to get up and dance.
“200%”(2014)
This is powerful and anthemic song about giving your all to something you believe in. The song’s inspiring message and soaring vocals will leave you feeling motivated and ready to take on the world.
“Nakka”(2021)
Nakka is a bright and summery song about feeling happy and carefree. The song’s catchy melody and playful lyrics will make you want to sing along and dance in the sunshine.
“Re-Bye”(2016)
One of the most popular among their songs, Re-Bye is a fun and energetic debut song that perfectly captures the youthful charm of AKMU.
“Bean Dduk Bing Soo CF”(2013)
“Bean Dduk Bing Soo” is a short and catchy song made for a commercial, but it’s still a fun and upbeat track that will get stuck in your head. This song is strangely the song that introduced me to AKMU and still one of my favorite because I still get LSS when I listen to it from time to time.
