PURPLE KISS is back on the stage—and back as witches on bikes. In HEADWAY, the group’s seventh mini album released in October, the members of PURPLE KISS break free of all constraints and keep moving forward as they put foot to pedal. Below is their handpicked playlist, complete with tracks off the new album overflowing with personality—including its adrenaline-pumping, electrifying, guitar-driven lead single, “ON MY BIKE”—and more.

“ON MY BIKE” (PURPLE KISS)
Na Go Eun: You should really listen to this when you feel like breaking free. Listen to it lots because it just gets better the more you hear it! Let’s roll “ON MY BIKE”!

Dosie: “ON MY BIKE” has amazing vocals from the PURPLE KISS members and an infectious beat. It makes you feel like you’re dancing on the inside whenever you hear it and it melts your stress away, so it’s good for when you’re on your way to work and need an energy boost, too. Haha.

Ireh: This song’s packed with that one-of-a-kind PURPLE KISS charisma. Whether you’re listening on earphones, headphones, big speakers, or anything else, your heart will race the more you listen! I love it, personally, and I hope you’ll like it, too.

Yuki: This song’s got a hard-driving sound that’s great for giving you the energy to push through Monday, that hardest of days!

Chaein: This song’s as energetic as the title suggests. If you want to get rid of your troubles and worries all in one go, I recommend putting on “ON MY BIKE” and just heading out somewhere!

SWAN: “ON MY BIKE” is packed with our group’s energy and passion to keep blazing our own path! It’ll stick in your head after just one listen and make you want to take a drive. Hope you check out the choreo, too, because they’re even better when experienced together!

“Intro: Concrete Jungle” (PURPLE KISS)
Dosie: Once again, everyone from the group sings in the intro. I think this track is the best showcase of our dreamy, atmospheric vocals! Hearing “Intro: Concrete Jungle” first will get you excited for the rest of the album. Listen to the intro first, please!

Chaein: As an intro, this song perfectly sets the tone for the rest of the album. Make sure you listen in order starting with “Intro: Concrete Jungle” because you’ll feel more engrossed in the album!

SWAN: Another PURPLE KISS album opens with a delectable intro track that’s a short but sweet and powerful start to the album. You’re definitely going to want to put this one on repeat!

“Sweet Nightmare” (PURPLE KISS)
Na Go Eun: Pop fans are going to love this song. I wrote the song myself—words, music, and all. It’s overflowing with energy, so I hope everyone who listens to it feels powered up! :)

Ireh: Go Eun made this upbeat but melancholy song. Listen to it when you want to feel free to really enjoy its charm!

Yuki: Go Eun, the musical genius of our group, wrote this song. I feel like the lyrics and melodies behind the songs she writes penetrate right through my soul. I recommend listening to this one when you’re out in nature!

“Encore” (PURPLE KISS)
Dosie: This is my favorite track after the single! Both the lyrics and the overall feel of the song evoke the captivating image of PURPLE KISS onstage. PLORY’s been in love with it ever since we released the highlight medley!

Ireh: This song perfectly captures how uniquely cool our group is and our witch concept. If you love our signature vibe, this song is a must!

Chaein: You’ll fall more and more in love with this song every time you listen thanks to how good our vocals sound on it! Let’s all take a deep dive into the deep PURPLE KISS vibe!

“Light the way” (PURPLE KISS)
Na Go Eun: This song’s just like a gift to our fans, FLORY! It perfectly captures the message we wanted to convey to them!

Yuki: This song’s for FLORY. I was thinking of how FLORY makes me feel whenever I see them when I made the rap. I hope you like it!

SWAN: I was specifically thinking of FLORY and their love for us when I helped write the lyrics to this song. It’s heartwarming, with lyrics you’ll really want to think about. It’ll sound even better if you listen to it at sunset.

“National Route 7” (Jung Mijo)
Na Go Eun: I’m going to recommend this Jung Mijo song. I love this kind of music with a bossa nova beat. The lyrics are short, but I really love how heartwarming and amazing the song is. Make sure to give it a listen! :)

“Songs In My Head” (HONNE)
Dosie: I got to see HONNE perform this song live recently. Seeing them sitting on the edge of the stage and putting emotion into every single line as they sang directly to the audience made me feel so happy! That scene comes back to me whenever I listen to it so I listen to it every night before bed these days.

“Light Chaser” (JISOKURY)
Ireh: I’ve been listening to this song more than anything else lately! It’s such a therapeutic song to listen to when you need a break since the band’s so amazingly relaxed and effortless!

“Chi-Ka” feat. DEAN (Tabber)
Yuki: I listen to this song whenever it gets chilly out. It’s like the vocals wrap around you all nice and warm. This is my recommendation for a nice, warm autumn!

“Love Letter” (Anthony Lazaro, Sarah Kang)
Chaein: I always like to listen to this kind of warm song when I’m out riding my bicycle. I hope you all get a chance to listen to it and take in the nice crisp air before it gets much colder!

“what the hell” (Sunwoojunga)
SWAN:
This is the single off Sunwoojunga’s studio album. I listened to it on the plane over to the US for our tour and it was perfect for being up in the sky and looking at the clouds. I adore it, especially how I can feel all the tension leaving my body during the chorus.
