Do you have a song or two (or a whole playlist, really) that, when it comes on, fills you with so much energy that you don't need caffeine or sugar anymore? I feel like a bunch of K-Pop songs can fit such a description, and believe me when I tell you that it was so hard to pick which to include in this article. So, don't call me out for missing some of your favorites - instead, share them with us!
ATEEZ - Guerrilla
I probably shouldn't start our own Guerrilla with this one, but I do want to start punching things when this comes on. The song kind of makes you feel like you're unstoppable.
Stray Kids - MIROH
It's most probably the energetic "STRAY KIDS WHOOO," the insane rap and intense yet super fun dance that makes me feel like I can take over the world and push through whatever life throws at me because, in this rough jungle, I was the one who ran into it.

It's 2 am, and you're staying up late working on something and in need of that little pick-me-up? Here's the song for that. This song makes you want to run around late at night with a bunch of friends, not giving a care in the world because you are young, wild, and free.
