To get you hyped for the upcoming Manila leg of their TAKE OFF World Tour, we’ve handpicked five songs that you surely wouldn’t want to miss witnessing live!

Why Why Why

Digital Single
Release Date: March 3, 2021

Kicking off this list is Why Why Why, iKON’s fourth digital single, which is a laid-back pop ballad that delves into the complexities of a fading relationship. While iKON might be more well-known for their hip-hop sound, their vocal prowess and emotional depth in this song goes to show that the group can deliver any genre.

BLING BLING

Album: New Kids : Begin
Release Date: May 22, 2017

This upbeat hip-hop track is an electrifying anthem that immediately grabs your attention with its catchy hooks, powerful rap verses, and explosive chorus. Listening to this definitely gives you a confidence and energy boost like no other — just imagine jumping to this with your fellow iKONICs in a concert hall!

RHYTHM TA

Album: Welcome Back
Release Date: September 30, 2015

RHYTHM TA is a fierce and commanding track that highlights iKON’s prowess as skilled rappers and performers. It’s safe to say that this song is definitely a standout in their discography. The hard-hitting beats exude an addicting vibe, and it only gets better the more you listen.

KILLING ME

Album: New Kids : Continue
Release Date: August 2, 2018

Diverting from the strong hip-hop elements of the two previous songs in this list, KILLING ME can be described as more of a pop-dance track, further proving iKON’s versatility. It might not seem like it from the funky and dynamic instrumentals, but the song articulates pretty intense feelings of heartbreak and longing. It’s the perfect song to dance your frustrations from a breakup away.

LOVE SCENARIO

Album: Return
Release Date: January 25, 2018

Of course, an iKON playlist wouldn’t be complete with this legendary song. One of the best 2018 releases, LOVE SCENARIO is a beautifully crated pop song that narrates a bittersweet love story. The lyrics really hit it home for those who has ever experienced a benevolent breakup: “It hurts but if we dragged it our more, it would’ve become a scar / I loved you and I was loved, so that’s good enough for me.” That hurts, but in a pretty good way.
