Alcoholic B-Sides

As it's still dark, gloomy, and cold outside, why not sit back, grab a drink, and pretend that it's summer with these K-Pop B-sides named after alcoholic beverages that are perfect for those summer days ahead. 

“Champagne” - 2PM

Written by the group’s main rapper Taecyeon, 2PM's "Champagne"' uses a blend of ‘90s hip-hop sounds with house beats to create this nostalgic yet modern pop song that is different from any of 2PM's previous tracks. "Champagne" sees the members swap vocal positions with main vocalist Jun.K shining as one of the song's rappers while Taecyeon opens the song with his sweet, low-toned vocals before turning back to rap later on in the song. 

“COCKTAIL” - iKON

Taken from iKON's 2019 album NEW KIDS REPACKAGE : THE NEW KIDS, "COCKTAIL" is a fun, upbeat B-side that is the perfect sound for a "heaven on the beach" summer vacation party. Perfectly combining the members' vocals and raps, iKON invites us to join them and "have a cocktail" in this happy and cheerful track that will immediately put you in a great mood. 

“Mojito” - Red Velvet

Red Velvet's "Mojito" is a nostalgic-sounding dream pop and alternative pop track taken from the girls’ 2017 mini-album The Red Summer. The song is fun, uplifting, and very catchy, with a sound that is perfect for all those summer vacation days and nights with friends where you can grab a "mojito" and relax.
