Favourite breakout single from new gen girl groups?

[☾vroomvroomilikethat★]

I'm talking about the singles that put the groups on the map and made people become more aware of their presence on a wider scale, ie. appealed to the public and helped grow the size of the fandom.  So while You're the best, Rough or TT for example are the singles that solidified their groups' positions, they're not 'breakout' hits prepping that first fundamental step. 

 

What did these songs/MVs have that caught your attention and made you start to have an interest in the groups?  Vice versa, did you actually not agree with the public and found these songs overrated and not worthy of the groups' potential?  All of this is for fun and for the sake of discussion only, no rude bashing or commenting please!

 

Keep in mind that not all new gen girl groups will be here.  I'm only taking into account hits that actually had somewhat of an impact or certain level of success.

None of the songs listed are the ones that made me interested in the groups.

Secret - WJSN . 

 

sadly they keep releasing 'eh' songs after secret era.... I Wish was good. but cant beat Secret (imo)

[kimchidiablo]

Secret deserves to be a hit...... the song, the mv, the outfit & the choreo are all perfect.

If only Starship released it after IOI's disbandment...

mfte.  secret was easily one of the best songs to come out of 2016 (and the MV's aesthetics are amazing)

[JENNIE'S OPPA]

Playing With Fire is already iconic.

i dont think WJSN has breakout song yet

i dont think WJSN has breakout song yet

 

secret is not on the level of success that other songs on the list have, but I'd say it's more on the popular side that created some buzz for the group  (it's also where I drew the line tbh, that's why you don't see any song selling less than secret on this list)

[al qaeda]

Secret really got me into WJSN but their recent songs have been a real downgrade for me...

[Chae Is Bae]

Cheer Up. But PWF, MGT, Liar Liar, Secret and ICC are all bops.

[valentinna]

PWF, but i love Me Gustas Tu, probably one of the few cute songs i truly enjoy. I like CU too, maybe my fave Twice song

[Aletheia]

Wasn't OMG's most talked about song Closer? It's the only song people cite of theirs as being legendary.

Ice Cream Cake >>>>>>>>
