Falling in Love? Let Kim Sungkyu Be Your Soundtrack
Kim Sungkyu’s title tracks are undeniably iconic, but his discography has so much more to offer. Hidden among his albums are songs that showcase the depth of his vocals and the emotions that make his music so special.
There is something special about the way Sungkyu sings about love. Whether you’re in love, reminiscing about someone special, or simply enjoying good music, these five songs deserve a spot on your playlist.
When I Think About You
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking about someone long after they’ve left your mind, ‘When I Think About You’ will feel especially relatable. Featured on the OFF THE MAP EP, this profoundly emotional and sentimental track captures the consuming and breathless feelings that come with deep love and lingering longing.
True Love
One of my personal favorites, ‘True Love’ is the vibrant and upbeat title track from Sungkyu’s first full-length album, 10 Stories. The song perfectly captures the pure excitement of falling in love, from the butterflies in your stomach to the happiness that comes from simply thinking about someone special.
The Answer
At first glance, ‘The Answer’ may seem like a breakup song, but at its heart lies a deeply romantic realization. The title track from the 27 EP revolves around understanding that one person remains the answer to your romantic life, even after a relationship has ended.
Kontrol
Another fan favorite from 27, ‘Kontrol’ explores the lingering feelings that remain after a separation. Rather than focusing solely on heartbreak, the song highlights an enduring affection and a refusal to let go of someone who once meant everything.
60 Sec
Released as part of his debut solo EP Another Me, ‘60 Sec’ remains one of Sungkyu’s most iconic songs. The track vividly portrays the rush of emotions that comes with realizing you’re falling for someone, all within the span of a single minute.
Love may not always come with a soundtrack, but if it did, Kim Sungkyu’s songs would certainly be part of it. From butterflies in your stomach to late-night thoughts of someone special, these tracks capture emotions that words sometimes cannot. And who knows? You might just find yourself smiling a little more by the end of the playlist.
