Fans are inspired by Hwasa‘s dazzling transformation from a K-pop star to a cultural icon. The singer debuted with Mamamoo a decade ago and has established her place as a soloist since her first solo release, “Twit.” Hwasa’s songs stand as a testimony of her story, her confidence, and the powerful messaging that fans resonate with.
So, without further ado, let’s explore Hwasa’s rich discography to discover the singer’s most popular songs.
‘LMM’
Hwasa’s “LMM” released as part of her album Maria brought a refreshingly new side of the singer who has grown famous over her upbeat and groovy numbers. The song heavily relies on Hwasa’s vocals to shine through with a melodic arrangement pairing.
In LMM, Hwasa flaunts her effortless vocals, singing, “Do you wanna get some more/ We just lost sight/ Do you wanna go somewhere/ We only try to avoid it.” Though the song is slow-paced and not in Hwasa’s signature style, it has gained considerable popularity and over 11 million views since its release.
‘I’m a B’
Hwasa is a tour de force when it comes to her upbeat, sultry numbers. In “I’m a B,” she embraces her true persona, unabashedly accepting herself and even her sins, declaring, “Life is so incredible/ Even if I go crazy/ My sins are beautiful, baby (Baby).”
Along with the sassy lyrics and pulsing beats, the song’s music video offers something special. Hwasa’s stunning dance moves and “I’m A B” storytelling are impressive, and they sit right with the theme of her mini album Guilty Pleasure. Since its release, the song has received over 28 million views on YouTube, making it one of her top singles.
‘I Love My Body’
Hwasa kills two birds with one stone in “I Love My Body.” The song is a clap back to haters and an empowering message for her fans who need to embrace their true selves. After years of undergoing unnecessary criticism and consciously ditching the societal standard of how a woman’s body should look, the K-pop star’s new song answers the world.
In “I Love My Body,” the hitmaker raps, “Got way too many standards, not sure what’s right/ There is only one answer/ I love my body, and my hair be so shiny/ Head to toe be my body.” The song also marks her new beginning with Psy’s music label P Nation, which she joined in 2023.
‘Twit’
Hwasa’s “Twit” was her first solo release in 2019, which made a solid base for her future releases. The breezy song brings out her sensual aura and charismatic personality. The track also displays Hwasa’s rapping skills.
The song’s popularity right after its release led to its charting at number 1 on the Circle Digital Chart and ranking third on the US World Chart. Hwasa also snagged multiple awards for the song, including Circle Artist of the Year – Digital Music (February) in the Circle Chart Music Awards. The song also clocked tremendous views on YouTube since its release, gaining over 104 million streams.
Maria
Hwasa’s biggest solo hit is her chart-topping single, “Maria.” In the song, Hwasa channels her vulnerability in a fierce tone, posing the question, “I’m lonely, what do I do?/ I even swallowed hatred/ I have no strength to get mad/ No time either uh uh/ What’s so disgusting?/ Just go on your way/ What’s wrong with you?”
Hwasa’s “Maria” made new history for the solo singer, clocking over 306 million views since its release. The song also prompted Hwasa’s streak of winning several trophies at year-end shows, including the Best Digital Song (Bonsang) trophy at the 2020 Golden Disc Awards.
After reigning as a K-pop solo artist since her first “Twit” release, Hwasa has announced a new fan concert in Seoul in 2024.
