20 Kpop Songs to Listen to During Mental Health Awareness Month
This coming May is Mental Health Awareness month
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "the new Mental Health Atlas paints a disappointing picture of global failure to provide people with the mental health services they need, at a time when the pandemic of COVID-19 is highlighting the growing need for mental health support."
This Atlas notes that "increased attention to mental health in recent years has yet to translate into scaled-up quality mental health care services that match needs."
What is it about?
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects the way we think, feel and act when we face life. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Mental health is important at all stages of life, from childhood and adolescence to adulthood and old age.
However, society has been changing and so has the definition of Mental Health. It is not only a state of emotional, cognitive and behavioral balance that allows the individual to function responsibly in their family, social and work environment, as well as to enjoy well-being and quality of life, but also to have public policies that allow access to treatment and timely care when needed.
When is Mental Health Awareness Month celebrated?
Currently the public policies of each country are working hard to improve the quality of life of its population. Unfortunately the rates of depression, suicide and stress do not decrease.
Fortunately, talking about mental health and associated illnesses is no longer a taboo and unjustified discrimination has been diminishing.
The Awareness Month is celebrated from May 1 to May 31 each year. However, each country has special dates set aside for this event.
20 Kpop Songs about Mental Health Awareness
In the first place we have Trauma - Seventeen
Trauma got me bad bad
I dropped out of middle school
Basically had no friends yah yah
Boxed in boxed in in my own world yah yah
Stuck in my fantasy like (woah)
Dreaming it to be real life (woah)
I waited without much thought
But now I realize
At this rate, I’ll be all alone
I don’t know what to do
Besides this, I only had earphones in my ears
Turn up the volume
I don’t wanna be alone
No I don’t wanna be forgotten
So Ima sing this song
Anybody listening?
Dance on My Own by LOONA
I don’t need someone to feel something
It’s just me myself and I love it
I just wanna dance dance
Dance on my own
I’m back and I’m feelin’ myself
Gonna make a little room for my mental health
And if I stay out all alone
I got one less problem that I’m bringing home
I don’t need nobody to move my body
All me with no strings attached
I don’t wanna be somebody who lets somebody
Hold me if they hold me back
Impossible forget "Lonely" by Jonghyun
I’m sorry, it’s my fault
Thank you, it’s all thanks to you
These were words you said out of habit
Even though I knew you were struggling too
You probably think I’m a fool
If I say that things are hard with a crying face
Will it really get better?
If I cry and say it hurts, who will have a harder time?
Everyone will be fine
Maybe we trapped each other
Inside our own misunderstandings
No, you don’t understand me
Whenever I see your worried eyes
Stray Kids talk about mental healt with their song "You can STAY"
I was running hastily, you ran in step with me
And embraced me saying okay
You let me lean on your shoulder
The cold shower didn’t stop
The rainwater came up to my chin
Thank you for holding my hands
As I look back on the path I’ve come
I can always picture the images of you and me together
We can hear it anywhere
Anywhere everywhere, yeah
We hear it anywhere, yeah yeah yeah
You can rest here, you can rest here (Hey)
You can rest here, you can rest here (Yeah)
You can stay here, you can stay here (Yeah, yeah)
The sound of the wind
That would caress us instead of the cold wind
Twice give us "Don't give up" for this month
You can’t always be happy
There’s a lot of fun things but a lot of worries too
I’m not the only one like this
Everyone has their own worries
What is the brightest and prettiest thing in the world?
There’s something else besides those flowers
Don’t need to look far, it’s right in front of you
Anyone can see how valuable you are
I wish you would know
Then everyone will be happy
My mom told me every day
You’re prettiest just the way you are
It’s not hard

Wake Me Up sung for B.A.P
Wake up, we’ve pressed for time
That innocent child has grown up suddenly
Now I’ll awaken this fearful society
Share a story with the new me
You can’t put a price on my life
It’s a life that can’t be exchanged with anyone else’s
Our reality is like pain
That is trapped inside a stone pot
What I can do is
Sing this song like I’m crazy
It may wake, every year, I’m on the lane for my goal
You ain’t be late
Jump like an equestrian, for me
The girls of WJSN and their song "Good Night"
Lets "Fly High" with Fromis_9
Kang Daniel and his "Paranoia"
Days are as dark as the night
It’s getting scary
In my lightless room
It’s becoming routine, one by one
Am I just crazy or dreamin’ awake?
Now I can’t escape
Every day repeats and I become numb
Close your eyes
Demons in the night
Para-Noia
Don’t you look behind!
Oh my my my
I want to hide
Don’t ma, ma, mind
So, no one can find me
"Dive into IVE! Hello, We are IVE"
impossible not to feel like a "Zombie" sometimes, by DAY6
Have you watched "Borderline" by Sunmi ?
I got too hyped
Unstable eyes,
hands, hair and words
are all over the place
Feels like a bird is livin’ in my head
please don’t piss me off, Oh no no
I shouldn’t have said that
Because I am a good girl
don’t spill it out
I’m on the borderline
"Breathe" by Lee Hi, this song has a mix of emotions
Take a deep breath
Until both sides of your heart get numb
Until it hurts a little
Let out your breath even more
Until you feel
like there’s nothing left inside
It’s alright if you run out of breath
No one will blame you
It’s okay to make mistakes sometimes
Because anyone can do so
Although comforting by saying it’s alright
Are just words
Someone’s breath. That heavy breath
How can I see through that?
Though I can’t understand your breath
It’s alright I’ll hold you
Some times we need "Help" (10cm)
I love "To my youth" (Bol4)
At some point, I used to wish I would disappear from this world
The whole world seemed so dark and I cried every night
Will I feel better if I just disappeared?
I was so afraid of everyone’s eyes on me
During those beautifully beautiful days, I was in pain
I hated myself for not being able to receive love
My mom and my dad, they’re only looking at me
It’s not how I really feel but I keep getting farther away
The saying time is medicine was really true for me
As the days went by, I really got better
But sometimes, when I’m too happy, I’m afraid I’ll be in pain again
I’m afraid that someone will take away this happiness
I was hurting and hurting but the pain wouldn’t go away
My friends, all these people, they’re only looking at me
This isn’t how I really am but I keep getting farther away
Why Why Why by Ikon is one of my favorites
From just anybody to my love
From fate to lovers
Thought we’d be together forever without any breakup
In fact it still seems like a lie
Like you’d come back with a great big smile
Beautiful as you were
Only now I feel regret
All I did was to make your beautiful smiling face covered in tears
This isn’t what I wanted
Eventually ending up in this position, coming to this, I’m the one who messed it up
Couldn’t even protect a flower like you
All the flashing sparks in our relationship
Have turned into white ashes
Dear Me by our lovely Taeyeon
There are things I wanna tell myself
As if I’m singing
I love myself
I trust myself
Words that I didn’t have before
See how I’ve endured through the long darkness
Even if the night comes again, I won’t hide
I have myself by my side
To the sky that will start to brighten
I will become a spreading light and fly
If only I can tell myself
Some day
I love myself
I trust myself
Will you remember?

Can be better by Highlight
It can’t be helped
Don’t try to hold onto what has already left
It can’t be helped
Because this time, this pain will pass in the end, hey
Don’t wanna get too hung up on something like love
I love myself, I’m more precious than anything else
Don’t wanna force something that doesn’t fit to fit
Because I still like doing things my way
Time has passed me by
So why try to stay in the past?
It’s too late to turn things around
Memories are now high above the sky
It can’t be helped
Don’t try to hold onto what has already left
It can’t be helped
Because this time, this pain will pass in the end, hey
Crush feat. Joy with "Mayday"
Awake or asleep
Drowning in my own thoughts
Always lost in thought
It’s alright, it’s not too bad
Bored, like a pebble stuck in a crack, yeah
I wanna enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass
Summertime, ring dong, vibes
I need some excitement
One two three
Everything’s so frustrating
You know, the stress
Eat, sleep, repeat
Not much is going on
Sitting still on the sofa
You know, the stress
What’s wrong with me
I did absolutely nothing today but I’m exhausted
Why is it so hard to just relax, mayday
Somebody help me, mayday
Somebody mayday, mayday, mayday
I can't stop hearing "You Can't Hold my Heart" by our Monsta X
Oh, can you stay awake?
One more hour, maybe this can change
Oh, can you numb the pain?
‘Cause it runs deep and comes in waves
How’s it gonna work when we can’t admit it?
Pretend that we don’t know now
Tried to drag it out, but we beared it livin’
We can let it go now
And there’s nothing I can say at all
You can’t hold my heart no more
And I’m waiting for your arms to fall
You can’t hold my heart no more
Yeah, there’s nothing I can say at all
You can’t hold my heart no more
And I’m waiting for your arms to fall
You can’t hold my heart no more
Never Say Goodbye by Monday Kiz
although you coldly told me not to come
i wanted to see you so much that i came like this.
those words…those words that you forgot…even though you tell me that it’s the end, to go
I..can’t give you a ‘goodbye’.
that’s right; because you are my everything, i don’t want to let you go
never say goodbye ..don’t tell me lie
my heart hurts because i love you so much i could die…because i want you..
please, please come back
even though you shout that you’ve already now forgotten those words
i can’t believe those words
that’s right; because you are my sky, i’ll plead to you
never say goodbye ,,don’t tell me lie
my heart hurts because i love you so much i could die..because i want you..
please, please come back
without being able to endure even one day my footsteps search for you
tears fall even though i raise my head
i don’t want to cry ..don’t tell me why
because i am a man who shared a love with you
please embrace me one more time
