Whenever we think of "winter songs," we'll always think of Christmas songs. Although the festivities have passed, the Winter season hasn't. So, forget jingle bells and reindeer games! Let's dive into a winter chill that has nothing to do with Santa with one non-Christmassy bop at a time!
ZEROBASEONE - Melting Point
This came out at the perfect time and season. With winter freezing you up, these boys brought a whole lot of warmth with this one and eventually melt you. The song and music video had such fun and beautiful 'winter wonderland' vibes.
TXT - Ghosting
TXT has always been known for their mysterious sounds and haunting melodies, especially in their earlier days, and this is definitely one featuring it. The delicate piano notes and airy vocals create a cold, haunting, magical vibe.
(G)I-DLE - HWAA
Is there any genre they can't do? Answer: no. Just imagine a world where snowflakes dance in the glow of flickering embers; this is precisely what HWAA sounds like. This song is such a masterpiece that will paint you with a mesmerizing sound that is both icy and ethereal, fiery and fragile.
NewJeans - Ditto
This song is certainly popular for a reason. The gentle hum and 90s R&B give the song a nostalgic yet very futuristic feel while also taking us on a chilling feel.
SUNMI - Narcissism
Sunmi's hot, yes, we know, but this song injects a shot of icy glamour into your winter playlist. This song is not for curling up by the fire. It's for stepping out into the frozen night and being the Elsa you've always wanted to be.
Baekhyun - Ice Queen
The song stays true to its name "Ice Queen," as it kinda just have you feeling chilled. Just imagine playing this song at a cosy party with some closed friends, on a cold winter night. A party is always perfect with Baekhyun.
EXO - Runaway
EXO never fails to give us the best winter songs, and although this isn't in their special winter/Christmas album, it still serves as such a fantastic winter anthem! This is a melancholy masterpiece that perfectly captures the stark beauty of the season.
NCT 127 - Sun & Moon
This is a winter song for those who find solace in the cold. The song is a whisper of beauty in the quiet desolation, giving us that gentle reminder that even the darkest nights eventually give way to dawn. It's the perfect song for you to snuggle closer to your winter warmth, and let yourself be swept away by the icy embrace.
TWICE - You in My Heart
This isn't your typical holiday tune, but it captures the essence of the cold season in a cozy and magical way. It's like a warm cup of cocoa on a snowy day, or the sparkle of fairy lights against a crisp night sky. How cozy.
Seori - Lovers in the Night
Whenever it's Seori, it's certainly going to be a mixture of warmth from her voice, coupled with beauty. In this one, you'll enjoy the echo of the loneliness of long, dark nights.
Epik High - It's Cold ft. Lee Hi
This one's a classic that definitely has to be on this list, despite it being released 11-years ago! This song is such a masterpiece, you'll thank me later for putting this one on your radar!
