Out Singing These B-sides Part 1

There are so many songs out there that if we were to get the mic, we would out-sing. The great thing about it is that since we love the music so much, we listen to it over and over again. That means we definitely know the lyrics. So, let’s talk about some B-sides that we could easily out-sing. 

NCT 127 - “Baby Don’t Like It” 

On January 6, 2017, NCT 127 dropped their EP, NCT#127 LIMITLESS - The 2nd Mini Album. This EP is home to some iconic tracks like “Limitless,” “Back 2 U (AM 01:27),” and “Good Thing.” Each of those songs we can all sing word for word. Today, though, we will be talking about their B-side, “Baby Don’t Like It.” This R&B track is iconic. The moment this song dropped, people were hooked. The vocalists during the chorus and bridge are so in sync that it sounds like one voice. Members Mark and Taeyong's verses are so personal to them and showcase their unique rapping skills and flow. To this day, when that song comes on, I am singing it word for word. This song is addictive, and by the fourth time you listen, you will know all the words. 

SEVENTEEN - “CHEERS” 

On July 18, 2022, SEVENTEEN dropped their jam-packed album, SEVENTEEN 4th Album Repackage ‘SECTOR 17.’ Starting strong with their title track, “_WORLD,” the momentum stayed high with their B-side, “CHEERS.” Showcasing the unit leaders, S.Coups, Hoshi, and Woozi, “CHEERS” is an upbeat dance track that will have you on your feet. This track is addictive and will have you saying cheers all day long. Everything about this song is iconic and memorable, as are the lyrics and the choreography. You will definitely be singing along to this song and doing Hoshi’s iconic hip movement by the time you rewind to the beginning. 

NewJeans - “Hype Boy” 

“Cause I know what you like, boy. You're my chemical hype boy.” We all know this song. This has to be one of the most iconic B-sides of the past two years. On August 1, 2022, NewJeans debuted with their EP, NewJeans 1st EP ‘New Jeans.’ This debut EP is so well-known, and “Hype Boy” is one of those famous songs. While listening to this song, you can’t help but jump up and want to dance along with the members. The moment the song starts, you instantly sing along to the lyrics. The song is so hyped that you want to grab an imaginary mic and act like you are performing on stage. “Hype Boy” is upbeat and will instantly bring a smile to your face. It is a fun song that we will never forget.
