The Category is Red Velvet B-Sides

We all know Red Velvet. For those who don’t and want to get into them, Red Velvet is a five-member girl group under SM Entertainment. These girls have been in the game since 2014 and have been releasing unforgettable bangers ever since. Red Velvet is a group of talented singers, rappers, and dancers. Their title tracks have always been top-tier and iconic. Their B-sides like “Kingdom Come” and “Pose” are well-known, but today, we are going to talk about their B-sides that have rocked our worlds. 

“Oh Boy” - The Red - The 1st Album

On September 9, 2015, Red Velvet dropped their first full-length album, The Red - The 1st Album, and oh my god, this album is so good. On that album was their B-side “Oh Boy,” and oh boy, is this song amazing. Everything about this track is fun. You can’t help but sing and dance along. This upbeat 90’s R&B-inspired track showcases the members’ vocals fully. If you are trying to get into Red Velvet, I recommend this song—this way, you can get a sense of the girls and their music genres. 

“Automatic” - The 1st Mini Album Ice Cream cake- EP 

“Automatic” is another B-side of theirs that showcases that 90’s R&B-inspired music. “Automatic” is featured on their first mini-album, Ice Cream Cake - EP, which was released on March 17, 2015. This track is super chill and laid-back. You can’t help but sway to the beat and sing along to the song. The girls came through with this track; it gives me that R&B vibe that SM Entertainment artists are known for. The video is filmed so artistically. The matching from the clothes to the hair made this a seamless video. 

“Sunny Side Up!” - ‘The ReVe Festival’ Day 1 - EP

On June 19, 2019, the mini-album ‘The ReVe Festival’ Day 1 - EP was released, and we got a B-side I will never forget. “Sunny Side Up!” is a pop track that is such a fun listen. The song is eccentric and adds to the theme of the festival concept they have. “Sunny Side Up!” is what I would describe as who Red Velvet is as a group. Their concepts are quirky and haunting, and even though the title is bright, the song has a spooky element to it. 

“In My Dreams” - ‘The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm’ - EP 

“In my dreams, you love me back.” These lyrics are from the beautiful track “In My Dreams” from their EP, ‘The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm’. This ballad is so gorgeous and as the last song on their EP, it was a great way to end the album. Everything about this song is breathtaking. The vocals and the outfits in the music video were all angelic. This track showcases the members’ vocals fully. ‘The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm’ - EP is a masterpiece, and this song just brings a tear to your eyes.

“Nightmare” - Chill Kill - The 3rd Album

Their recent release, Chill Kill - The 3rd Album, was released on November 13, 2023, and many of us have been listening to this album on repeat. One of my favorites from this album is the song “Nightmare.” This chilling track captures the true essence of Red Velvet in my eyes. It’s spooky, catchy, and has amazing vocals. I wish I could hear this song for the first time again. The vocals in this song gave me goosebumps. The final chorus gave me chills. It’s an iconic song, and I would definitely recommend listening to it.
