We understand that it is not easy to overcome all of these trials and tribulations in a short period of time. Although enduring a day may seem like torture, we want you to know that you have tried hard. We want to convey our encouragement to you through the following 8 songs. Hope that you’ll have sweet dreams at night and that you are soothed by the singers’ voice.  

1. IU - ‘My Sea’

The song ‘My Sea’ not only reflected IU’s life journey but also echoed the hearts of many people. The lyrics expressed the daily hardship of maintaining the original heart and innocence while growing up. “Did that child was hurting for so long time to become me? We get further as the days pile up.” Sometimes we would blame ourselves for not meeting our childhood expectations. “But still sometimes there will be days I lose to life. Even if I wander again, I know the way back.” But IU taught us not to be too harsh on ourselves. In the search for your life’s purpose, it’s okay to get lost sometimes, as long as you know the right path to your final destination.  

2. ATEEZ - ‘Not Too Late’

ATINY will understand how emotionally rich the song ‘Not Too Late’ is after knowing that our leader HongJoong cried while recording the heartbreaking melody. The song conveys the struggle and contrast of despair and optimism at the same time. “I’m doing well, I’m fine, I’m eating well and living well. Don’t worry, mom and dad, just live well.” We want to reassure our parents and friends that we are fine and that we are independent enough to overcome everything. “I sometimes cry in the corner of an empty room. A confession towards to someone without an object.” But who will always be joyful and who can guarantee that life will always be smooth sailing? Sometimes we are desperate, and we need someone to be around. “It’s too late too late, oh not too late. Looking for the light I’ll face one day” ATEEZ encouraged us that nothing is too late. No matter how dreadful the day is, don’t give up the hope and the future ahead. This too shall pass.  

3. SEVENTEEN - ‘Hug’

There’s a reason CARAT would say that ‘Hug’ is a song that comforts them more than anyone else. After a long and tiring day and much self-doubt, what we need is a song with a soft melody and lyrics that appreciate our own values. SEVENTEEN’S mellifluous voices have calmed the hearts of many. “The day that seems too much for me passes by. Today, too, the words can’t be said.” We often feel stressed out while dealing with all the difficulties we encounter during the day. When we are alone in the dark, this sense of helplessness will even be amplified at the end of the day. “No matter how much you hide it, you know you can’t hide it forever. So we can smile together. Don’t be sorry, don’t worry, don’t be scared, now don’t cry.” No matter how melancholy you are and how tough the day is, you know that you don’t have to bear all this alone. “To me you are very precious. You can tell me today was tough. I am here, you suffered a lot. I love you. I will hug you.” There will always be people besides you who understand you and are willing to share your burdens. You are a treasure to others.  

4. BTS - ‘Tomorrow’

Although the current songs of BTS are super sensational, it is always a wise decision to dig into their past songs. You may find hidden gems, and ‘Tomorrow’ is definitely one of them. Recorded on one of their early albums in 2014, ‘Tomorrow’ is a song that inspires people to pursue themselves, despite the various setbacks they receive on a daily basis. “It’s funny, you think anything is possible when you’re a kid. When you feel how hard it is to get through a day.” When we were a kid, we wanted to become a grown-up in a hurry. But when we finally become an adult, we realize how distorted the reality is and how it is an ordeal to live even one day. “Follow your dream like breaker. Even if it breaks down, don’t ever run backwards, never.” But BTS has taught us that no matter what, we must go forward with our dreams and never back down. “Because the dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest. Even in the far future, never forget the you of right now. Wherever you are right now, you’re just taking a break. Don’t give up, you know.” It’s okay to take a break in your journey. Even though everything may seem bleak now, one day you will shine.  

5. SHINee’s JongHyun - ‘End of a Day’

A legendary song and a venerable singer will never cease to exist, no matter how many years have passed. JongHyun’s songs and his angelic voice have soothed the souls of many, and he will forever be commemorated in our hearts. When you’re too tired to persevere another day, we hope this song will give you some strength. “You did a good job today, you worked so hard. I hope my shoulders and my thick hands, will become cozy comfort, for the end of your tiring day as well.” Thank you for another day of hard work. May you find a comfortable spot to lean on. “At the end of a tiring day but still, if I’m next to you, like a child, I can whine and then laugh.” No matter how tired you are at the end of the day, you know you can always find someone who will always support you, love you, take care of you, or do something that will always cheer you up, just like your family, friends, loved ones or even pets.  

6. GFRIEND - ‘You Are Not Alone’

When you feel blue during the day, it’s important that you don’t let your negative emotions consume you. As GFRIEND said, ‘You are not alone’ and you don’t have to face all the battles alone. Turn around, there is always someone willing to be your beacon in the storm. “You are not alone. You can lean on me. It’s okay to rest when you feel out of breath.” Don’t burden yourself too much. Give yourself some space to rest. You can share your worries with others at any time. “Thank you for holding on to the destiny. That was on the verge of breaking. I’ll give you a hug when you feel alone. Because of the sudden sadness.” Sometimes it’s okay to expose our weaknesses. We are all human beings, and we are all troubled by all kinds of unpleasant events. It is important to find the right channel to vent your emotions.  

7. SF9 - ‘Believer’

‘Believer’ is a song SF9 dedicated to their fans and supporters. People may think that the life of idols is dreamlike and desirable, but in fact, they have put in a lot of unbearable hard work and great determination every day to reach today’s level. “Going into the deeper darkness. On a heavy step going into an endless maze. Every night my fearful heart is choked up.” Unknown days are the most terrifying because we can never predict what will happen in the future, whether it is positive or negative. This sense of insecurity makes us tremble. “Every day I live by breathing and holding on. ” / “Overcoming the unbearable pain, I am choked up.” We always grit our teeth to get through the hard times every day until we feel suffocated. “But you’re one of them reasons. You make me wanna believe. I won’t give up, I get up again, new start. I won’t give up, I wake up again, new start.” However, when you recall those who’ve always got your back, we will believe that tomorrow will always be a new chapter in our lives.  

8. EVERGLOW - ‘PLEASE PLEASE’

Although EVERGLOW is highly regarded for their powerful and addictive title songs, their side tracks are also equally glorious. A soft and gentle ballad song like ‘PLEASE PLEASE’ can promote your sleep at night and sweep away all your stress during the day. “Ah, we keep singing, this will be the last time. Oh-oh-ah, our song is spreading out and hovering around fragments.” Live in the moment. Sing until your last breath and don’t let your days be filled with regrets. “Your warmth is as sweet as falling asleep. A quiet night, a rush of wind. ” We hope you could sleep peacefully and undisturbed every night after overcoming a hectic day. Although listening to these songs may not ease your plight, we hope that they could alleviate your pain and sorrow, especially when you have an unpleasant day. Music is a good remedy for self-healing. The artists composed these songs not just to solace their fans during the darkest hours, but also to every listener. Remember that you don’t have to leave all the burden to yourself. There’s always someone rooting for you. Which song is your favorite? Is there a song that gives you strength and motivation at the end of the day? Let us know in the comments!
