We truly love anything ILLIT at THP! The talented K-pop group has taken the industry by storm since their debut in 2024. Having recently released their third EP, ILLIT has continued to craft their bubbly, airy soundscape that blends electro and dream-pop. With so many hits to choose from, we’ve chosen five that are sure to make your playlist sparkle!
‘Magnetic’
This unforgettable debut from their first EP My World, encapsulates everything we love about the girls! Combining video-game-inspired sounds with the concept of a magnetic love, it truly shows the group’s creativity. Never grating, the repetitive chorus is an earworm that went viral. It’s one of ILLIT’s standout tracks, acting as an introduction to the dreamy, retro sound that we can’t get enough of.
‘Do The Dance’
Straight from their recent EP Bomb, ‘Do The Dance’ is a certified bop! The anime sampling on this track really stands out, with elegant strings creating a magical tone. The lyrics are fun and playful, making references to cats and dancing with a lover. A weird combination, but it works, the song doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s part of ILLIT’s charm. Whimsical, fun, and free, the track encapsulates the group’s vibe perfectly.
‘Cherish (My Love)’
A standout from their second EP, I’ll Like You, this track is a catchy dance-pop hit! Laid-back in its production, the song leans into the dreamy vibe of ILLIT. The music video adds to this with its weirdcore-inspired visuals, cleverly using a wisdom tooth as a metaphor for love (a pun on similar words in Korean). A great contrast to a seemingly innocent track, ILLIT shows how they can use weirdness to their advantage!
‘Jellyous’
‘Jellyous’ reminds us of the chiptune sounds of retro video games! The track is a cute take on the jealousy that comes with love, turning it into something playful instead. It shows ILLIT’s ability to tackle hard feelings with whimsy, never becoming too serious. The nostalgic production cements this as a throwback to a simpler time, creating a retro fantasy that’s perfect for your playlist.
‘Lucky Girl Syndrome’
Another great track from their first EP My World, ‘Lucky Girl Syndrome’ is a dance-pop bop that belongs on your playlist! With its catchy whistles and playful hook, the song radiates carefree energy. It’s a positive track that showcases ILLIT’s gratitude for the simple things in life. With uplifting lyrics that can easily become a mantra, ‘Lucky Girl Syndrome’ is perfect for fans of K-pop and manifestation!
