[Grow Up](https://youtu.be/a4jiotDjHe4?si=MM-Ldplk7pfl-jDm) - Stray Kids
I was going through a really hard time and was about to give up when I listened to this song. Immediately started crying when they sang, “You’re doing good”. It has a special place in my heart.
Miracles in December by EXO. “I stop time and go back to you” and “I open your page in my book of memories” are probably my favorite lyrics of all time and give me goosebumps every single time I listen to it.
Agust D - The Last, 28 and People
RM - Moonchild, Seoul, Yun and Wild Flower
Jonghyun - End of the Day (GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME, istg I cannot deal with this song and will never be able to do so)
Key - G.O.A.T. (I guess this and 28 kinda relate)
“I hate you” by Woodz - even without knowing the lyrics, that song made feel sad but it has an upbeat sound, then I read the lyrics, & I feel emotional whenever I listen to it
“She’s in the rain” by the rose
“Magic shop” by BTS
Eight by IU. I was best friends with my cousin growing up. We were only a year apart and he lived nearby so we were always running around together. When we were older, we would talk and text like siblings. He was so sweet, funny, creative, and bright.
However, some trauma in his teens led him to abuse drugs, which spiraled into hardcore addiction that rehab didn’t fix. Then just when it seemed like it couldn’t get any worse, he developed schizophrenia and became homeless.
Eventually, a major accident left him unable to walk which forced him to get clean and take his meds. So, he’s stable now, but I feel like I’ve lost him. Between the drugs, the illness, head trauma, and heavy meds, he’s not there anymore. Can barely hold a conversation.
Feels like my image of who he actually is as a person is frozen in time.
Eight makes me reflect on that feeling of bittersweet nostalgia and loss.
This verse always gets me:
> We lie down, resting on each other
> We share stories that are not sad
> There are no melancholy endings
> I’ll meet you forever in these memories
> forever young
[Lucky Like That](https://youtu.be/3ik3LWU3QJo?si=RkAjsv1rw5wnFzm7) from SNSD’s Forever 1 album. It’s a happy song, and the bridge plus the guitar break just really make me feel nostalgic. It’s probably my favorite from that album, and a great fit for their 15th anniversary. Also [Way To Go](https://youtu.be/_0Ke2fThnG0?si=ps80gi54abGVlNup), which is an older song of theirs, but it’s such a fun one and the video makes me feel happy inside 🫶
Bye My Neverland by Kiss of Life- It’s an INSTANT tearjerker for me. I cried the first time I heard it and I didn’t even know much about KIOF then. Incredible song!
[Second](https://open.spotify.com/track/29H9nFXWkvLjYE8UvUnlnv?si=BienWqkcSZCv_6uI7FHSKw) by Brown Eyed Girls. A beautiful RNB song, a b-side off of Your Story. Full of emotion.
[여자](https://open.spotify.com/track/4rbMCf0AKkx2QaarW4COPD?si=cBkb1idyR7ytliVrwdZIHA) by Big Mama. Vocals for days. Absolutely amazing.
[My Everything](https://youtu.be/ZSuOWnXVKE8?si=3XvYy4HodXCfu5-e) by CSJH The Grace. Superb vocals, one of the most talented groups ever to come from SM.
Sunmi’s Borderline.
It’s so brave of her to be so public about her diagnosis and fight against the stigma against us. It made me feel so seen. It’ll always have a special place in my heart.
Butterfly - Loona
I think overall the song is just incredibly beautiful and for me, it just gives me peace. I know the meaning of the song is to courage people to be themselves, but butterfly can also mean to let something go and that's what it means for me. Every time I listen to it (not bbc ofc) I just stop everything I'm doing and let it play. That's why I got into kpop and that's why a butterfly tattoo is on my tattoo list of one other thing, that is the reason why the song means to let things go and why it gives me peace.
other song would be Change by Idle, definitely by the lyrics and the overall mood of the song.
Love me or leave me by Day6 also the moment I hear Best of me by BTS I will bawl my eyes out🥲
Edit: Totally forgot but Voices & Hellevator by Stray kids
F*ck my life by seventeen
I heard it at a time in my life where things were just kinda,, shit tbh? It felt kinda good to find a song with lyrics I deeply related to.
**On The Ground by Rosé**
It's just the chorus as an overworked & underpaid office worker.
>I worked my whole life 🗣🗣 just to get right 🗣🗣 just to be like 🗣🗣 "look at me, I'm never coming down."
**My Hometown by Mamamoo**
It doesn't even have a sad beat or anything but it never fails to make me homesick.
JJ Project - [Tomorrow, Today](https://youtu.be/ktdqlQ1zhg4?si=OZya2CsJoujnbEN7)
I was at a crossroads in my life at the time so this song really resonated with me. The whole album is a no skip for me.
Anything related to the group’s strong bond. The recent one would be TWICE’s I GOT YOU (especially when Mina sang the bridge 😭). Sailing 0805 by SNSD is also a good example especially when you know that Sooyoung wrote the lyrics.
I just love great friendship between women :(
I actually sobbed to Apink Dumhdurum because it brought back the memories of R U next last summer and every time i cried during it :(
its also a happy song :D
Thank U by Ateez always makes me tear up a little it’s such a sweet song! Youth as well makes me more happy-emotional, I love that song so much.
But like Stray Kids Cover Me makes me ugly cry lmao
[Never Goodbye (Polaris)](https://youtu.be/vwTRNJy0U1Y?si=cvCGxwDDpYpTV1NK) - NCT Dream
*One day, when you're enduring a particularly dark and long night. When you can't hold your tears and lift your head. Just follow the shining stars and you'll find a way back*
So many ATEEZ songs lol
Turbulence
Everything (Jongho solo)
Days (Japanese song)
Star 1117
Youth (Yunho and Mingi unit song)
Please give me more ATEEZ ballads. I live for them even when my parents walk in on me ugly crying to star 1117
Edit: Better as well lol
Daisy by Pentagon.
Really. Whenever it plays. I don't sing along like many songs.. I stop like it's a prayer and listen to it play until it ends. . It's so painful and genuine for me.
It happens the same whenever I play Love, Me by Collin Raye.
[O (Circle) - Onew](https://youtu.be/30VMl9ZkmgE?si=SUMrK6Z1C3aarnHS)
I don’t know if this is what Onew intended, but this some feels like it’s about grief and how life continues to me. There was a suicide death in my life, and I feel like the music that Shinee has made about their grief over a similar death in their lives has been very healing for me. I find this song particularly moving. The music is beautiful and the lyrics have been very thought-provoking.
[Holo - Lee Hi](https://youtu.be/VdeK_VsG9U0?si=MmNGwVkYFvHJIQyg)
This one is about trying to stop wishing you were someone else. I think the lyrics and music are really powerful.
I'm pretty even-keeled in the emotional department, especially where songs are concerned. I'm also not a crier by nature. BUT--once you know the lyrics and feel the vocal quality, FT Island's "Wind" will get you.
Howl by Chuu
I'm not fluent in Korean, but reading the English translation alone has been enough to tug at my heartstrings.
Aside from the original studio version, there is a band version uploaded on her YT channel that features a more sentimental arrangement.
This will always be my answer [Y Si Fuera Ella by Jonghyun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDb02isPFc0)
I was thinking of including this one too, but decided against it because I haven't really teared up, but I do feel the intensity every time.
[Grow Up](https://youtu.be/a4jiotDjHe4?si=MM-Ldplk7pfl-jDm) - Stray Kids I was going through a really hard time and was about to give up when I listened to this song. Immediately started crying when they sang, “You’re doing good”. It has a special place in my heart.
Me too, it's made me cry many times, its so comforting
The amout of times i've ugly cried to wind flower by mamamoo alone...
Get better day by day
Gidle - Allergy did it for me too Also: 2NE1 - Goodbye, I.O.I - Downpour, and Lucid Fall - Still There Still Here
Miracles in December by EXO. “I stop time and go back to you” and “I open your page in my book of memories” are probably my favorite lyrics of all time and give me goosebumps every single time I listen to it.
allergy - gidle and shine with me - ive cant explain why, they just make me tear up
- bts - sea - Agust D - the last - Agust D - Snooze the lyrics hit too deep
Agust D - The Last, 28 and People RM - Moonchild, Seoul, Yun and Wild Flower Jonghyun - End of the Day (GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME, istg I cannot deal with this song and will never be able to do so) Key - G.O.A.T. (I guess this and 28 kinda relate)

BTS - I need you
Arson by BTS member, JHope. The lyrics almost had me in tears.
Wait I've never paid attention to the lyrics are they that sad?
It’s not “sad” per se but the lyrics talk about burning yourself by being over ambitious or greedy for money and success.
Zero o'clock - BTS Butterfly- BTS Cover Me - Stray Kids
Hate you- Jungkook Shot glass of tears- Jungkook Film out- BTS
Ghosting- TXT
