XG - “NEW DANCE” 

It’s time to hit the dance floor and bust a move. XG’s “NEW DANCE” is an upbeat, fun track that makes you want to dance. Their mini-album, NEW DNA (Apple Music Edition) -EP is a jam-packed album with six songs that fill you with adrenaline. The video for “NEW DANCE” is bright and colorful, and shows the members in such a joyful mood. While listening to this song with friends or alone, you can’t help but jump up from your seat and sing and dance along. The lyrics are addictive and the dance is catchy. “NEW DANCE” is a song you should definitely add to your summer playlist. 

Tomorrow x Together (TXT) - “No Rules” 

Retro and groovy,“No Rules” by Tomorrow x Together (TXT) is an exciting and addictive track. The song is energetic, and that energy can be felt from the singing and seen in the dancing. The stage for this song is bright, and the members look amused while performing. You can’t help but smile while listening to the song, and that's because this track fills you with so much glee. I believe this is the perfect song to play while driving. With the windows down and your hair blowing from the wind, you are bound to feel that summertime aura.

NCT 127 - “Welcome To My Playground” 

“Welcome To My Playground” is a joyful, feel-good song. While making this list, I had to put this song: there’s something about it that just makes me happy and a lot of people feel the same way. NCT 127 is known for music that brings people together to party and to dance. In the video, we see the members practicing for the concert, jumping around, smiling, and laughing. The song is refreshing and is the best to play while relaxing.
