Every Song From SEVENTEEN’s 10th Anniversary Album ‘Happy Burstday,’ Ranked


With new single "THUNDER" and Pharrell and Timbaland collaborations, SEVENTEEN celebrate a decade on the 16 tracks in new album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY.'

Whether delicate piano ballads or gritty club cuts, the solo songs reveal fresh dimensions of S.Coups, Woozi, Hoshi, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Wonwoo, DK, Mingyu, The 8, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino ‘s talents as individual artists and creators — and further underscore the momentousness of this milestone record. The sweet, confessional track reminds us that the rapper is capable of far more music beyond the Hip-Hop Unit’s signature sound and that he’s got a soft side delivering Korean lyrics that translate to cute lines like: “You’d say, ‘Am I really that special?’/ Smiling while hiding your heart/ But my heart is already at 100%/ So don’t worry — I’m sure.” 100% swoon-worthy. “Skyfall” is the first of the SEVENTEEN members’ solo tracks in Happy Burstday ‘s tracklist with THE 8 kicking the energy back up after the Pharrell Williams–produced “Bad Influence.” Subtle electronica beats surround THE 8’s light delivery before booming 808s, hard synthesizers, and bustling breakbeats enter the mix, creating a euphoric blend that represents the singer-dancer-model’s hope to let go and drift like a feather.
