Since debuting in 2015 with the mini album The Day, fronted by “Congratulations”, South Korean band Day6 has continuously impressed, treating fans and casual listeners alike with a wide-ranging discography that explores various themes — from growing up, relationships, life, and so much more.

Each year was a witness to how much the band, composed of Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon, has evolved and beautifully showcased their colors as a unique group and the first and only band to debut under JYP Entertainment. Recently back with their third studio album titled The Book of Us: Entropy, the boys continue to expand their music and venture into other themes. According to Young K during the press conference held in commemoration of the album’s release, The Book of Us: Entropy sings about the interactions between people and represents the warmth and coldness of these relationships. It also saw the band try variety of genres.

With their amazing releases, Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon continue to leave their mark in the music industry as Day6 — a group that stays timeless and sing about every moment. And in appreciation for the music of Day6 and in anticipation of the boys’ return to the Philippine concert stage on November 23 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum, we listed down six of the many great hits that hit us hard with feels every time.

“Congratulations”

“Congratulations”, the lead single of Day6’s first extended play The Day, is personally one of the best debut songs in K-Pop. It hooks you from the get go with Dowoon’s drum introduction that meets with a soft guitar entrance and Jae’s vocals. The lyrics pierce the heart with its bitter words. The pain relayed by the song was highlighted by the music video that features Choi Woo Shik and Jang Hee Ryung.

“You Were Beautiful”

Released in February as part of the Every Day6 project, “You Were Beautiful” continues the story of “Congratulations” with its music video featuring Choi Woo Shik once again. The lyrics reminisce the memories the couple had — the guy appreciating the moments they had, but making it clear from the start that he does not have the intention to get back to what they had. It was a farewell song, of moving forward and finally getting a closure by coming into terms with the break up.

For the last time

Your eyes that looked at me

Your voice that said “take care”

Everything, everything

even that, to me

You were beautiful

Please tell me I’m not the only one that cries when listening to this song.

“I Wait”

“I Wait” is the first single released through the Every Day6 project, along with the sidetrack “Goodbye Winter”. With this song, the band kicked off the monthly project with an impactful start, making the wait of My Days worthwhile as they get treated to an upbeat, rock song that begins with Wonpil’s keyboard and blends the message of the song nicely to the beats and the hints of melancholic melodies.

“Hi Hello”

“Hi Hello” is another track from the Every Day6 project. Compared to “I Wait” and “You Were Beautiful”, this song was calmer and sweeter — a song that will be perfect for a summer road trip (or was it because of the music video?). The music video was also lovely and refreshing. While both “I Wait” and “You Were Beautiful” tug the heart with their seemingly melancholic lyrics, “Hi Hello” was delicate and filled with harmony.

“I Need Somebody”

The October release for Every Day6 gifted the world with two impressive tracks from the boys — “When You Love Someone” and “I Need Somebody”. Both songs are mellow and slow in the best possible way and choosing one than the other has proven to be a challenging task, but for this list, “I Need Somebody” takes the spot as it conveys a different message from the other songs listed here.

The words “Why am I alone?” really get me every time I listen to this song. The lyrics of the song, overall, make you stare at nothingness and contemplate life, to be honest.

“Beautiful Feeling”

We cannot end the list on a sad note, so what better way to cap it off but with “Beautiful Feeling”. I am a sucker for fan-dedicated songs and I really love the sound of this track — lighthearted and sweet. Day6 first performed the song during their You Made My Day fan meeting in Seoul in September 2018.

This list only highlighted six songs of Day6 — a challenge, to be honest — but the band has so much more to offer than what this article can contain. Check out the amazing discography of the band and dive into the most beautiful feeling of listening to their songs as we countdown to ten more days before Day6 hits Manila with the sweetest chaos at the SMART Araneta Coliseum on November 23!
