The first song by the K-pop superstars recorded fully in English is, of course, brilliant marketing. But if the song didn't pop with personality nor possess such an irresistible candy-coated hook, we wouldn't be talking about it as one of the best of the year.

Originally released in 2017, the song made a modest showing on the rock charts before fading into the abyss. But thanks to pandemic-shuttered TikTok-ing teens, the anthem with an urgent pulse and message of longing for closeness reignited the Liverpool export's profile.
