11. Staff Pick: mssylee's Current Top 10 Songs Playlist

Warning: There might be some depressing a** tracks due to the writer's current life situation. However, these are also songs that will help you realize that there are people who are going through the same and, girl (or boy), we feel you. Remember, music heals.

10. HyunA - Run & Run

This is just an intro to HyunA's latest comeback album, 'A+,' but I am in love with her rapping style here. Not to mention she is one BAMF in her MV. You cannot judge her album with just "Roll Deep" since that is just the crowd pleaser and performance track that will get everyone hyped. If you want to start judging HyunA, I suggest that you speak after listening to all her songs.

9. BTS - Tomorrow

I've only started liking this song after listening to BTS singing it live (above video). For a male idol group, BTS was surprisingly good and I'm sure not having to dance helped them focus a lot more on their vocals. This song helps me to hope for a better day tomorrow no matter how hard and how low I fall today.

8. 2YOON - Nightmare (Feat. Ilhoon)

I've liked this song ever since it released and during my darkest days, I have revisited it, seeking for some comfort. I also really like Ilhoon's flow here and yes, I will admit to having tried to mimic it with no luck.

7. Ollti - That XX (Feat. Zico)

I'm sorry, Ollti should have won over Bobby (not sorry). And this track proves that this dude has some serious talent. Trust me, I have nothing against Bobby. I just think that this track is one of the best cover/remix of "That XX" and its featuring Zico was just the perfect cherry-on-top.

6. Big Bang - Let's Not Fall in Love

One of the best tracks from their 'M.A.D.E' series if I do say so myself. This is the honest truth about relationships in this generation where everyone is scared to fall in love, yet they are desperately looking for someone to settle their horribly fickle hearts with. It's ridiculously selfish and a self-centered, but reality is that no one wants to get hurt and everyone is looking out for their own interests.

5. HyunA - Get Out of My House

HyunA has never sounded this good. For me, at least, this tops HyunA's solo debut track and definitely "Bubble Pop." Illustrating the frustrations and the dissatisfaction of a once happy couple, "Get Out Of My House" is a song that many long-term couples will understand.

4. DAY6 - Congratulations

I realize that this song just recently released, but it also happened to release when I was coincidentally going through some tough moments in my life. Not only am I a sucker for band songs but it also crushed me with relatable lyrics. This song will definitely be on repeat for a while.

3. Taeyang - 1AM

Ever have one of those days when you've been good all day, but once you get back home, all that fills your head is all the crappy things that you've been trying to push out? You'd probably fight it off, try to keep your mind busy with everything and anything around you. Then at one point, you find yourself lost, drowning almost, with your worst imaginations. Yeah, me too.

2. Mad Clown - Fire (Feat. Jinsil)

Need I say more? Mad Clown is one of my favorite rappers currently and it's because he really knows how to express his anger and passion through not only the lyrics but also with his diction. I'm sure many people agree with me on this, but the line where he says, "I hope you meet someone just like you, piece of trash," really hit hard.

1. Mino - Fear (Feat. Taeyang)

I was completely blown away by Mino's final performance on 'Show Me The Money 4' and no, it wasn't because of Taeyang. Sure, the overall track was outstanding, but it was the lyrics that got me really hooked. "The reason I intentionally chose to speak out when I didn't want to was that there was no other reason, I was scared." Wow. Mino did an amazing job at expressing the struggle, the fear, and the fight that everyone has against themselves and it was just the perfect song to help me get back on my feet.
