SEVENTEEN has long been regarded as one of K-pop’s most diverse acts, with all thirteen members contributing to the group’s development as one of the best, whether through song creation, composition, choreography, or filmmaking. It’s no surprise that SEVENTEEN, dubbed the “self-producing idols” of K-pop, haven’t shied away from experimenting with different genres and styles since their debut in 2015.
1. Intro: New World’ (2017)
‘New World’ is an aggressive, provocative instrumental that sets the tone for what’s to follow on ‘Teen, Age,’ but despite its 52-second length, it doesn’t make much of an impact.
2.‘Outro: Incompletion’ (2017)
On top of a brief electric guitar solo, this brief outro tune mostly comprises instrumentals lifted from the album’s title track ‘Clap.’
3.‘Hit’ (2019)
On the refrain of this ‘An Ode’ track, Joshua gloats, “Online, offline, plastered everywhere / The world is our pride of pride,” a loud assertion of the group’s tremendous confidence in their ability as artists.
4.‘Getting Closer’ (2018)
‘Getting Closer’ is some of SEVENTEEN’s most dramatic material, and it’s a true display of force and might.
5.‘Ah Yeah’ (2015)
‘Ah Yeah’ is a lot harsher than your normal Hip-Hop Team single, with its blend of silly lyrics (“Pull up on you wacks with a mac fully loaded”) and a chaotic tempo.
6.‘Rock’ (2016)
The longing that may rapidly become too painful to endure is without a doubt the least desired component of being in love. ‘Rock’ eloquently depicts this, describing a love that propels SEVENTEEN to new heights and then “straight down like a gyro drop.”
