There’s a K-Pop song for every mood, emotion, and vibe you experience. Fall is a time for falling leaves, cozy hoodies, and the bittersweet transition between summer and winter. These K-Pop songs perfectly capture that feeling. Here are eleven songs to add to your K-Pop fall playlist!
‘Autumn Leaves’ by BTS
Let’s start with an obvious choice. How can we make a K-Pop fall song list without mentioning ‘Autumn Leaves’ by BTS? This SUGA-produced track from ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt.2’ perfectly embodies the season. BTS’s early sound, with songs like ‘Coffee’ and ‘Let Me Know’, fits well with the cozy fall vibe. But ‘Autumn Leaves’, with its metaphor of a dying love and falling dead leaves, is the ultimate song for this season.
‘Kingdom Come’ by Red Velvet
‘Kingdom Come’ is one of our favorite b-sides in Red Velvet’s discography, and it’s perfect to remember during this season. Red Velvet knows how to deliver a vocally strong R&B track like no one else. The melodies are perfection, and the vibes are mysterious. ‘Kingdom Come’ is a love song that still has a dark and enigmatic feel, making it ideal for the fall vibe.
‘When you love someone’ by DAY6
Some songs make you want to drink your favorite hot beverage while enjoying the comfort of your home, and ‘When you love someone’ by DAY6 is one of them. It’s one of their softest songs, with lyrics about preferring to hurt yourself rather than seeing your loved one in pain. The addictive melody and beautiful vocals of this song feel like a warm hug on a cold day.
‘ZzZz’ by Purple Kiss
Purple Kiss captures the essence of fall and the Halloween season. ‘Zombie’ is already a Halloween playlist favorite. But on that same mini-album, we find another gem: ‘ZzZz’. This song is for those moments when you feel lost and lonely in everyday life, which can happen at the beginning of fall. With an R&B-inspired vibe and relatable lyrics, ‘ZzZz’ embodies the sadder side of this season, making us feel less alone.
‘Hate That…’ by Key, featuring Taeyeon
Key and Taeyeon collaborate on one of the best duets in the industry, and we can’t forget about it. ‘Hate That…’ has lyrics about resentment after a breakup, combining a soft guitar with a strong beat. This song perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling we often experience in the fall.
‘Falling Leaves Are Beautiful’ by HEIZE
Yes, we love the metaphor of dead leaves in music, which is why HEIZE’s ‘Falling Leaves Are Beautiful’ is a must for our fall K-Pop playlist. The song expresses longing through its lyrics and beautiful melodies. HEIZE’s vocals are a perfect fit for this song, making it unforgettable. This song is simply a must for the season.
‘Ghosting’ by TOMORROW X TOGETHER
The energy of ‘Ghosting’ is perfect for the fall season. TXT combines heartbreaking lyrics about losing someone with inspiring melodies. This song always evokes emotions, but its pop-feel adds a bittersweet touch. It gives you the strength to move on and let go. ‘Ghosting’ is pop perfection for the fall.
‘COOL (Your rainbow)’ by NMIXX
‘Cool (Your Rainbow)’ by NMIXX is a piece of musical genius. The melodies, which include classical elements, beautifully complement their vocals. It’s a song full of hope and love. While fall has its gloomy side, there’s also beauty in it, and this song reminds us of that.

‘Hoodie Season’ by Stray Kids
Of course, we can’t forget the ultimate fall K-Pop song, ‘Hoodie Season’. Originally a track by 3RACHA, ‘Hoodie Season’ (also known as ‘Mixtape#5′) is a fun yet laid-back song that brightens our day. It’s a unique gem in Stray Kids’ discography. This song is all about blocking out the outside world and knowing that everything will be alright.
