Summer Playlist

#1 “Fake Love” – by BTS

Released: 2018

Songwriter(s): “hitman” bang; Pdogg; RM

Producer(s): Pdogg

Label: Big Hit Entertainment; IRIVER; Columbia

Genres: K-pop, Emo rap, Rap rock

This Song undoubtedly tops my Summer Playlist because not only is it catchy, addictive and has a great beat, it also has a deep meaning. BTS always produces meaningful music and in their newest Album “Love Yourself: Tear”, they discuss the conflict of self love and loving others. I love their entire Album but this title song is wonderful. What makes BTS’s music even more meaningful is that they write and produce most of their own songs, and I have always admired that in a band. Also as you may have surmised by my gushing I am an ARMY.

The next spot on my summer playlist goes to Pentagon. They are another K-pop group that produces and writes their own music and this song is not only adorable, it is very catchy. I did not really know about Pentagon before this song but now that I found this song, I realized that quite a lot of their music is brilliant.
