May 1 is Labor Day, and many office workers are gearing up for a much-needed day off. With just days to go, which tracks are perfect as high-energy “work anthems” to power you through?
LE SSERAFIM dropped their lead single 'Celebration' today (24th) at 1 p.m. KST across major streaming platforms, alongside the music video on their official YouTube channel.
Blending melodic techno and hardstyle, 'Celebration' hits you with an upbeat, addictive beat and melody that gets your body moving instantly. The moment it comes on, the vibe flips to the middle of an EDM party or a summer festival.
The members shared, "From the first listen, we pictured everyone partying together at a show, so we couldn’t wait to play it for you. We packed our story into this high-energy track, and it fits the theme of 'Celebration' even better."
Kim Chaewon and Huh Yunjin took part in the songwriting, adding authenticity to their story. Notably, it’s the first reveal from their second full album, setting the stage for LE SSERAFIM’s next chapter. On May 22, the group will release '(PUREFLOW) pt.1' and officially jump into the fierce comeback war.
Keeping the momentum going after LE SSERAFIM’s new track, aespa’s 'Dirty Work' is another go-to work anthem.
Released last June, 'Dirty Work' is a hip-hop dance track defined by its kitschy synth bass and cool vocal melody. Its effortlessly cool, chill vibe—different from aespa’s previous releases—sparked major buzz. In 'Dirty Work,' the members transform into fearless resistors who won’t shy away from any “dirty work” for their teammates, delivering another addictive anthem powered by punchy vocals and beats.
Following 'Dirty Work,' aespa will drop their second full album 'LEMONADE' on May 29, raising expectations for the group’s zesty, electrifying “metallic bite.”
NMIXX’s 2024 release 'DASH' also remains a steady fan-favorite on work-anthem playlists.
The title track 'DASH' from the second mini album 'Fe3O4: BREAK' is a signature 'MIXX POP' song—NMIXX’s unique genre—seamlessly switching between old-school hip-hop with a groovy bassline and hard-hitting pop punk for a dynamic ride. The hook—“I wanna dash, I wanna dash I wanna run it, run it Dash”—loops in your head, busting boredom and keeping the tempo bright and fast.
NMIXX will also enter May’s fierce comeback race, dropping their new release 'Heavy Serenade' on the 11th.
With these drops lined up, listeners’ work-anthem playlists are set to get a serious boost this May.
