If you are like us, then every time you see AB6IX’s DONGHYUN or hear his name, you get one of the biggest smiles on your face. Just like his fellow members, he has his own unique way of standing out, and we are always just waiting for an opportunity to hype him up. And sometimes we think of one ourselves.
DONGHYUN is an incredible dancer, a great singer, and overall a talented artist. But he’s also an excellent songwriter. Yes, you’re picking up where we’re going with this. We picked four songs in which DONGHYUN had a hand in the production process to talk about and unwrap the vibes they gave us. Care to join us?
‘ILY (I LOVE YOU)’
How could we not start with one of the latest released songs written and composed by AB6IX’s DONGHYUN, ‘ILY (I LOVE YOU).’ Soft, sweet, and absolutely loving, from its melody to its lyrics. We can definitely feel the love for fans that the idol wanted to express. Listening to ‘ILY’ and all the gentle vocals the members delivered makes us all soft and smiley. And who wouldn’t be? In addition, picking this track to make a special self-cam video feels just the more special. Filled with so many cute moments that make you want to squeeze your screen, it matches so well with ‘ILY’s vibe that we don’t think it can be any more perfect than this.
‘MAYBE’
Ok, we are swooning every time we go to watch the Live performances of ‘MAYBE.’ While the members absolutely stunned us with their thoughtful choreography, we were already hooked on the song. ‘MAYBE’ is when you realize it’s time to say goodbye, and it feels like the moment is just right. The realization and certainty displayed by the lyrics speak for themselves. We think this is a great track to say goodbye to someone in your life you are ready to part with. All we have to say is, thank you, DONGHYUN, for this track.
‘3″‘
Another very AB6IX-sounding song that showcases the musical diversity from the group’s title songs. The B-sides that the boys meet us with always present diversity, ensuring there’s something for everyone and every mood. With ‘3″,’ DONGHYUN created a gentle but easy to sway to a musical piece. Ever wondered what that moment of hesitation about taking the first step to holding and kissing someone would sound like in a song? Well, now you do, and we think it’s very well expressed. We can just imagine the story and expressions one would make if ‘3″‘ had its own music video. All the shyness and cute moments would make us squeal, but we also kind of already do just by listening to the lyrics. Don’t you also smile when it comes up on your playlists?
‘F_ix YoU’
Yes, we know ‘F_ix YoU‘ is a solo song, but we just couldn’t have this list without including at least one of his individual tracks. And that lets us see yet another side of his composing and writing. With group songs, the focus is to try to capture the whole group’s essence. Meanwhile, solo pieces allow us to take a peek into an artist’s mind. They give as an idea of what their own music would sound like. And with AB6IX’s DONGHYUN, each single is different and unique in style and atmosphere. ‘F_ix YoU’ leans on the fun side, spreading positivity and relaying a message to ignore the harming and fake advice from others. We also can’t help but think about the special documentary that AB6IX released for their solo songs in Find YOU. Did you know DONGHYUN’s ‘F_ix YoU’ originally had a different title? It gives us an even stronger idea of what he wanted to express through this piece. Whatever the title, we are simply here supporting and loving his music.
There are more tracks written and composed by AB6IX’s DONGHYUN, and we highly encourage you to go listen if you haven’t already. And if you want to check out more of his solo pieces, ‘More’ and ‘VENUS’ await you. They will definitely give you a great idea of how versatile his style is.
