I love K-Pop and it's basically the only type of music I listen to. I literally have 2000+ songs in my K-Pop playlist and have listened to the entire discographies of over 20 groups. I've realized that there are some title tracks that I feel should get a little more love, so I'm gonna share them with you.
Btw, this list isn't in any particular order and is solely my opinion — I don't mean to undermine or forget any groups!
1. "Thanks" by Seventeen

Even though the list isn't in any particular order, Seventeen is my ult so it's only fair that I put this one first. This song is part of their special directorial cut which isn't a normal album, but this song still hits. This song is about thanking the Seventeen fandom, CARATS, aka me! It's beautifully written and composed, with one of the best bridges I have ever listened to. It's a shame that it's underrated and definitely should be appreciated more from carats and non-carats alike.
2. "Eclipse" by GOT7

This song is one of the most underrated GOT7 title tracks ever. It's an amazing song with powerful musical composition and meaningful lyrics. The MV itself is also beautiful as it tells us a story about overcoming darkness. It got outshined by "Calling My Name" (not a bad song at all) and was released the same year. It should get more appreciation.
3. "I am YOU" (SKZ2020) by Stray Kids

This song is one of my Top 10 SKZ songs but is definitely outshined by their other title tracks. SKZ is known for their powerful lyrics and messages behind their songs and this one definitely proves that. The emotions and vibes make this an incredible song. It's one of their earlier titles tracks which I feel is sometimes forgotten by listeners.
4. "You Make Me" by Day6

Day6 is already a pretty underrated group, but this song is even more underrated. Day6 songs are known for their brilliant lyrics and incredible instrumentals (I mean duh, they are a rock band!) and this song definitely proves that. The raw vocals and concept hit you right in the feels. I sing my heart out every time I hear it in my car. People definitely need to listen to this and their other songs more.
5. "Angel or Devil" by TXT

Technically this is not the only title track on this album but it is one of the more underrated ones. The lyrics, the music, and the visuals are amazing in this song. The rap portion is immaculate and adds to the cool vibe of the song. It definitely needs more appreciation.
6. "Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)" by Enhypen

So hear me out: this song is their latest release and they got a lot of hate for it not being one of their better comebacks, but I disagree. This song is awesome with its catchy tune and powerful choreography. The whole song makes me want to get up and dance. While it may not be their best title track, it definitely isn't a bad one and is definitely underrated.
7. "Mr. Ambiguous" by Mamamoo

If you can believe it, this is their DEBUT SONG. Mamamoo's music is pretty unique and they proved it in this, their very first title track. The jazz and retro vibes are perfect and their talent can be heard from beginning to end. People tend to forget about this one, which is unfortunate.
8. "Aurora" by Ateez

This is one of my favorite Ateez songs. It has the perfect blend of vocals and rap and the lyrics are beautiful. Ateez is visually stunning which only adds to the beauty of the song. It's one of those love songs that brings a sense of calm. Because this group is mostly known for its explosive songs and performances, "Aurora" sometimes gets overlooked.
9. "LOCO" by Itzy

Itzy's title tracks are highly popular so it was hard choosing one that was underrated but this song definitely needs more love. I didn't understand all the hate that this song was receiving because it's such a catchy song. Everything about this song is fun with its cool lyrics and raps, not to mention a bop of a chorus. Itzy did not drop the ball on this one.
10. "N.O." by BTS

I don't follow BTS as closely as Armies but even I can say that "N.O." is pretty underrated. The music and vibes are just amazing. It is one of their older songs but honestly, they were just better. The meaning behind the song is also so powerful and should definitely get more recognition.
