Your Top 5 best 2025 b-sides / SZA praises ‘Seoul City’!!

I limited myself to one song per artist (Zen being the sole exception, because it's a masterpiece!)

So my top 5 is:

1. Seoul City (Jennie): absolutely beautiful alt rnb song, sultry, sensual, daring with a beat to die for

2. Praying (Seulgi): a touching, etheral and gorgegous song about self resilience and finding inner strengh .

3. Count on me (aespa): another emotional rnb song about sticking through pain in pursuit of your dreams and passion . the lyrics are so so good.

4. Obsessed (ARTMS): im just obsessed with that song about obsessive love!

5. Your love (Jisoo): it's a real feel good banger, well done Jisoo, it's her best song.

Special mention: Zen (Jennie), Chill (Lisa), Chain (Idle), bamsopoong (Illit), Scent of Green (Joy)

Also I really love Elastic Girl by Lisa and Angel 48 by aespa .

A little playlist of the best 2025 b-sides:

Mine will be in no particular order. I am kinda disappointed with k-pop boy groups lacking good B-Sides this year.

peak taste as always

did you like seoul city and praying?

and obsessed?

Quote from Bottles

I just posted the first 5 songs that came to my head, but if I had thought about it longer I should have stuck a Jennie song on there as I loved her solo album so much. Seoul City is amazing. As is Zen, Damn Right, Start a War - so many to choose from frankly!

I did quite like that Seulgi song. Usually I am not a fan so I don’t tend to check out her releases. But I might need to start tuning in so thanks.

With Club Icarus, I was honestly a bit disappointed. I had hyped it up so much in my head after Virtual Angel/Dall which I love. After it made your list, I decided to listen to the EP again, and actually Goddess, Verified Beauty and Burn are all great songs.I think I judged it a bit too harshly to begin with.

for seulgi, both her ep are pretty solid. i specially liked anywhere but home in her first one.

also yes please do extent your list
