Stray Kids 9th Member ~ Shine Pt.1

Sammy's Playlist w/ Explanations Pt.4

WANNABE - ITZY
The hour the album dropped Stays saw WANNABE in Sammy's playlist. He hasn't said why yet but we did see him post a screenshot of it to his Instagram with the caption, "I just wanna be me. I don't listen to what others say. If I feel comfortable in my own skin then I'll be myself. Nobody else dictates the way I have to act but me."

Strawberries & Cigarettes - Troye Sivan
"When Love, Simon came out I adored it. The soundtrack is amazing and I truly recommend listening to it. But Troye Sivan's song is just so beautiful and he never has a bad song on any of his albums. Although I don't keep up with his new music I love his music in general and he's an overall good guy. I wanna work with him someday!"

RBB (Really Bad Boy) - Red Velvet
Why wouldn't he have a RV song on his playlist. No matter the day, month, or year he will always have an RV song on his playlist. He's always been super supportive of RV and their comebacks. He promotes them better than SM does honestly. He loves RBB despite the criticism of it trying to be a Bad Boy 2.0. He says, "While Bad Boy was everything perfection and captured 2018 as a whole Really Bad Boy was just as good. The concept was a month too late but that's what RV does. They take the natural and make it unnatural and have deep dark underlying tones in their songs. Also Yeri's hair, I love it. I need more center Yeri and for people to appreciate her. GO LOVE YERI AND ALL OF RED VELVET! Ohh especially my Mom Irene! She's amazing!"

Don't Know What To Do - BLACKPINK
Sammy has a dislike towards YG but not towards BLACKPINK. "I don't think it's the girls' fault for their minimal discography, despite that I enjoy their music and Don't Know What To Do and Forever Young are both summer bops that need music videos."

00:00 (Zero O'Clock) - BTS (Vocal Line)
Sammy has said he loves the meaning of the song. When it reaches 00:00 you'll be happy again. On his Instagram he posted a screenshot of the song with the caption, "Gonna go mull over some hot coco and wish I had the beautiful voices of BTS' vocal line. They all look so good this era and I'm sure at the end of the year Spotify gonna say 00:00 was one of my most listened to songs. IT'S SO GOOD! Please listen to it, high recommendation. Ugh Jimin's voice! 😭😭😭 Why is this song so beautiful and healing?" He also later had a VLive just listening to the entire Map Of The Soul:7 album.

Honeymoon - B.A.P.
"No words to be said. I will always believe this is one of B.A.P.'s best songs. From the sound to the lyrics it's all amazing. Just this is perfection!"

Million Reasons - Lady Gaga
"Gaga pulled a 180 for me. I hadn't been keeping up with her songs and the last song I remembered of hers was 'Born This Way'. From being empowering to soft? It really threw me for a curve ball. I mean I love it I just didn't expect it. Even now I only listen to a few Lady Gaga songs. Million Reasons is one of those songs."

Jealous - Nick Jonas
"I don't listen a lot to American Pop music anymore after coming to Korea but when this came out I think I died a little inside because Nick Jonas was my boy crush in middle school. My friends would make fun of my three Nick Jonas posters. Those posters came from hard work and my mom really was like, 'If it makes him happy...'
MC: Do you have a boy crush now?
Uh... maybe G-Dragon... I mean who doesn't love him? I also haven't met The Jonas Brothers so that's sad and I freaked out when I got GD's phone number.
MC: You have his phone number?
Long story short, yes."

Born for This - Paramore
"Ah my emo faze. Where I listened to the Emo bands of the century. Absolute masterpieces now that I think about it. I still listen to Paramore actually. Their music is just that good. Although I normally listen to songs that are slower paced Paramore still comes back and makes me nostalgic."
