There’s a K-Pop song for every mood, emotion, and every single vibe. Fall reminds us of falling leaves, cozy hoodies, and the bittersweet feeling between the end of summer and the beginning of winter. These K-Pop songs capture that feeling perfectly! Here are eleven songs you need to add to your K-Pop fall playlist!
‘Autumn Leaves’ by BTS
Let’s start with a pretty obvious choice. How could we possibly make a list of K-Pop fall songs without ‘Autumn Leaves’ by BTS? Out of The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt.2, this SUGA-produced track embodies the season perfectly. BTS‘ early sound fits a lot in this season with songs like ‘Coffee’ or ‘Let Me Know’ due to their cozy vibe. But the metaphors tying a dying love with dead leaves falling makes ‘Autumn Leaves’ the perfect song for the season.

‘ZzZz’ by Purple Kiss
Purple Kiss knows a thing or two about the fall and the Halloween season. ‘Zombie’ still owns our Halloween playlists. But most importantly, out of that same mini-album, we have one of our favorite b-sides: ‘ZzZz.’ This song is more for when you feel lost and lonely in everyday life. And the beginning of fall can definitely feel like that. With an R&B-inspired vibe and heartbreaking yet relatable lyrics, ‘ZzZz’ embodies the sadder side of fall. And it makes us feel less alone.
