Oh, how quickly the seasons change! It’s already time for the cozy hibernation vibes of winter, and we’re beyond ready. As we wrap up the year with holiday parties and festive content, let’s start a playlist of SEVENTEEN songs that bring the perfect wintry mood.
We already know that SEVENTEEN’s discography is great to listen to year-round, but we have a few tracks in mind that would honestly level up the winter season. Think solo dates in your city, cozy group dinners, and a very happy new year at the end of it all. These five SEVENTEEN songs will beat back the doom and gloom, in favor of a gentle and calming presence.
‘Habit’
Did you know SEVENTEEN invented yearning with this song? Because we cannot listen to it without our heart instantly squeezing. ‘Habit’ is one of our top 3 vocal unit songs, and it’s not even close. As for why it belongs in your winter playlist, imagine going down a rabbit hole and thinking about your ex one lonely night. (We’ve been there.) This song will remind you that these feelings are valid and universally felt. SEVENTEEN’s vocals will move you and help you pick yourself back up again.
‘Home’
Y’all knew this SEVENTEEN song was meant for your winter playlists, and we did, too! ‘Home’ is the ultimate comforting song, with a message that has stayed with us in the almost seven years since its release. They sing about the feeling of being someone’s home and vice versa. When you’re with them, all you can feel is warmth. Without them, you don’t know what to do. That’s exactly how we feel about SEVENTEEN’s music every time winter rolls around.
‘Kidult’
Next, we have ‘Kidult,’ a B-side that CARATs know and love well! SEVENTEEN perfectly captures the feeling we get every time the end of the year arrives. The in-between stage when you still feel like a kid, only with adult responsibilities. Or when you feel the need to heal your inner child but being an adult gets in the way of that. The push and pull of both sides leave us questioning who we are and what we want out of life. This song once again validates these tough feelings and allows us to move forward day by day.
‘Not Alone’
Our next SEVENTEEN song recommendation for your winter playlist is their Japanese single, ‘Not Alone.’ The melody alone makes it the perfect song for the winter. But the lyrics hit hard, especially when we find ourselves in the depths of despair and cold weather. During the pandemic, ‘Not Alone’ reminded us that we have more in common with others than we think. During the winter, it reminds us that plenty of people are going through similar hardships. And there’s plenty of comfort in that.
‘CHEERS’
Finally, in an energy and vibe that “change up” (IYKYK) the rest of our SEVENTEEN winter playlist, we have ‘CHEERS’ by the leader subunit. Woozi, S.Coups, and Hoshi have helped us ring in the new year every year since this banger came out. We honestly blast it at every party or function possible, and it feeds us the untouchable confidence we need to take on whatever challenges the next year will throw our way. It really is only up from here, and we’ll ‘CHEERS’ to that!
