10 Gender-Neutral Kpop Love Songs For Pride Month
If you’re like me and still enjoy making playlists of love songs for your crush or partner, then you also probably get frustrated at the sheer number of songs that have some gendered reference to the listener. This means that some otherwise perfectly good and expressive songs have been omitted from playlists and that sucks, right?
To lend a helping hand to those of you making playlists— and in honor of it being about halfway through pride month —I’ve compiled a list of my top ten favorite gender-neutral kpop love songs!
Crown - Tomorrow x Together
Tell me please, I’m the one who completes your half
This moment of my name being called
Who you? Are you my salvation who found me deserted
Who you? Are your wings the same pain like mine
There’s a horn rising up on my head
But I love it
You become my crown
Star 1117 - Ateez
It's my greatest happiness to spend my day thinking of you
Become a star and come to me
Looking for star, looking for love
You are my own star
I'll always make you shine
Forever you’re my heart
Best of Me - BTS
It was raining
It was snowing
But all unhappiness stopped
You brought heaven to me
Don’t speak so easily
Because without you, there’s no me
You’re the best of me, the best of me
Touch - NCT 127
Feels like we’re in the same place
Cause when I look around, everything is you, it’s true
All the things that pass by
Become special because it’s you
Stay oh (stick around)
You and me, just like this
Baby touch me, I can feel you
Beautiful - Monsta X
Because of the thorns a beautiful rose can bloom
Dark red flowers, it means I love you
Even if I bleed everywhere, I wanna embrace you
Cause I think about you errday, I’m already addicted to you
When you touch me, my entire body reacts
I can only live if you’re here
Every day, every night I can feel you
Move - Taemin
Your moves captivate me
Your elegant gestures, secretive looks
For a moment, I erased everything
Only relying on my sight
With awe, oh oh, I’m only looking at you
Touchin’ - Kang Daniel
Colored with these emotions
When I hold out my hand
What I can touch
Is your warmth
Steal my heart right now
It’s spreading endlessly
I want you
9 and Three Quarters - Tomorrow x Together
Be my forever, call my name
Run away, run away, run away with me
At the end of the world forever together
Run away babe give me an answer
Tell me yes, a 'no' is no
Don't wanna stay, now we can go
If you and I are together, we run across the sky
Make It Right - BTS
It was all useless
Everything else other than you
Touch me like you did before
On the endless and eternal night
You gifted me with morning
Now can I hold that hand?
Oh oh
I can make it right
Baby Don’t Stop - NCT U
You’re the fire that revives
A flower that was definitely wilted
So I’m trusting my senses
Relying on your eyes that spread over me, come to me
Between our narrow space, this tension gets higher
I feel so right, so sweet that things get hazy
Hopefully some of these songs resonate with you and a great, musically diverse playlist will be born! It’s been my pleasure to curate this list for you; if you know of any other kpop songs with gender-neutral lyrics, please contact me on social media and I’ll add them to an edited list!
