Everyone can get ready for 2025 with K-Pop’s positive and fun messages. This year, NCT’s Jaehyun, BABYMONSTER, aespa, and more idols delivered song lyrics that now allow listeners to contemplate New Year’s resolutions. The songs on this list promote confidence, love, and humor. They are what resolutions are made of.
BABYMONSTER – Forever
This song is indirectly the definition of the New Year’s resolution phrase. “Forever” has become an anthem for this generation with a message of self-confidence. The single opposes compromising someone’s authentic self to please others. Of course, the new year should be all about healthy confidence and authenticity. That is an ideal resolution.
NCT’s Jaehyun – Smoke
New Year’s resolutions wouldn’t be right without a playful resolution. Jaehyun’s “Smoke” song hints at romance while paying homage to narcissism. It takes self-love to the extreme. You can’t take the song too seriously; however, it’s always a good idea to love oneself and joke around in the coming year.
aespa – Whiplash
There is no better New Year’s resolution than being yourself. “Whiplash” motivates listeners to not be restricted by society’s expectations and move forward in life. It illustrates being the best version of yourself without uncertainty. The new year is another chance for everyone to show the world our sparkling personalities.
BTS’s Jimin and Sofia Carson – Slow Dance
Courage to confess to a crush should be on the list of New Year’s resolutions for singles. Jimin’s song “Slow Dance” encourages those in love to overcome fear and embrace the unknown. He and Sofia Carson’s singing is soothing and helps music lovers anticipate a bright future.
Jeon Somi – Ice Cream
A new year should be filled with fun, and that is exactly what Jeon Somi’s song brings. Her single “Ice Cream” not only has the lively choreography but jolly lyrics that help listeners imagine the perfect summer. Ice cream, summer, and romance blend perfectly to allow everyone to dream of the right lover in the New Year.
