LE SSERAFIM Songs We Can’t Live Without

If you’re one of the few people who haven’t heard of the astonishing K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM (forged by Source Music), you’ve been missing out on some of the most engrossing examples of pop music over the past two years.

And after gaining extreme exposure in 2023 from their insanely popular tracks like “UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers)” and the viral single "Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife" — the group’s fresh 2024 drops have only further reinforced their inherent, legendary sense of musicality. So with their unstoppable power in mind, here are a few key LE SSERAFIM songs that we simply can’t (and won’t) live without.

But just to be clear, there isn’t a single weak song throughout their discography, so you can’t ever go wrong with LSF anyway.

“Smart”

The group’s recent album Easy feels like a really thoughtful balance of the five-member lineup’s constant, hardened pop sound with a few new softer elements worth savoring. And the enthralling b-side banger “Smart” is just the dose of classic LE SSERAFIM we adore — while largely paying tribute to the hypnotic and influential power of afrobeat productions. This one is a total hit, and it’s apparent that plenty of others agree, given its noticeable streams and remixes.

“Impurities”

In all sincerity, we’ve been listening to LE SSERAFIM’s track “Impurities” on repeat since its release in 2022, and it never gets old. Even after countless listens, the bold B-side easily continues to prove itself with delicate vocal delivery and a vibey R&B core that just demands attention from start to finish. Add this one to your playlist and we can guarantee you won’t want to skip it. Ever.

“Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife”

If you don’t start singing “I’m a mess, mess, mess” at the mere thought of the 2023 hit single “Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife”, we’re (respectfully) questioning your taste in music. The fast-paced song is ridiculously catchy, the choreography is sick (and gravity-defying), plus months after its release, it’s still unlike anything else in the pop music universe. Get into it!

“Blue Flame”

From the very beginning of LE SSERAFIM’s “Blue Flame,” you immediately know that there’s a lot to unpack. A nice bass guitar, a smooth presentation of falsetto, and even a steady dance beat are all praise-worthy contributions to the repeat-worthy B-side from the unstoppable FEARLESS album. How can you not love this one?!

“Swan Song”

There’s something that’s intriguingly effortless about the recent Easy b-side “Swan Song”, and considering it’s vastly different from their mainstream singles, we’re even more excited to see how many creative, stylistic avenues LE SSERAFIM explores in the future. Everything about “Swan Song” feels timeless, we’re just lucky enough to experience it during its release.

“Perfect Night”

When LE SSERAFIM dropped their Overwatch 2 promotional single “Perfect Night”, the song organically became a massive hit with listeners everywhere (generating nearly 200 million streams on Spotify) for its clique, anthem-esque stature, and soft tonal switch-up. Also, even if we’re personally responsible for half of those streams, that’s still a lot of people who agree!
