A Okay-pop act’s title monitor isn’t all the time one of the best music on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Generally, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.

It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a buried treasure with the sentiment that “this could positively have been the title monitor.” Total, Okay-pop acts have been selecting the correct songs to advertise in 2025 and actually there simply haven’t been that many extraordinary b-sides. NouerA are one of many few teams to spawn a “9” rated b-side in 2025 they usually’ve performed it once more with Myself.

Full disclosure from me: a music with this sound is nearly assured to earn a “9” until it does one thing actually dumb. I simply love this frothy, excessive vitality home beat with a fully-sung, layered refrain. It’s a recipe that works extremely properly — particularly throughout this time of yr. I get that Myself may not adhere to NouerA’s idea as closely as a title monitor ought to and I’ve truly come round to N (Quantity Of Circumstances)‘s jagged crunch fairly a bit over the previous few days, but when their company is feeling beneficiant and wish to movie a follow-up music video I can’t consider a greater music to do it with. Myself is brisk, upbeat and extremely enjoyable. It confidently opens with its refrain, instantly recalling RIIZE’s Unattainable from final yr. The monitor may very well be extra creative in its execution, however like I mentioned bias is powerful with this style and I simply love listening to the vitality. The music additionally scores bonus factors for by no means dropping into some momentum-killing half-time entice breakdown.
