10. Intuition (First Step, 2011)
“Adding a disco stomp to their soft rock style, Intuition seals the deal with its surging, multi-pronged chorus, coming across as a Korean equivalent of Maroon 5.”
9. Lady (What Turns You On?, 2013)
“One of the group’s funkier moments, riding along a delicious bed of rhythm guitar and a glittery dance beat. This song feels different from their other songs but of course i love it!”
8. Puzzle (Euphoria, 2016)
“Going right for the pop jugular, Puzzle’s synth-drenched, 80’s inspired dance pop feels like CNBLUE at their most accessible. It’s unfortunate they’re so underrated. They can sing any style. The sounds from their musical instruments are so defined!”

7. Go Your Way (Wave, 2014)
“The band tackles stadium rock with this hands-in-the-air anthem. Go Your Way is straight-ahead rock music at its most rousing. The bass in the beginning. Jonghyun’s guitar rift in the middle! This was perfect!”
6. Love Girl (First Step, 2011)
“A shimmering, lighthearted blend of inventive guitar licks and sunny, sing-along melody, Love Girl endures as one of the group’s most potent pop moments. Such a nostalgic feeling that i get while listenin’ to this song.”
5. You’re So Fine (2017 Spring Live: Shake! Shake! Upside Down, 2017)
“A bouncy, springtime pop track that added warm brass and a mature, loungy feel to the group’s upbeat sound. CN Blue are one of those bands that no one is outshined like everyone has their spotlight and they are such great musicians as well as awesome actors like I’ve watched all their dramas.”

4. Cinderella (2gether, 2015)
“Borrowing the electronic elements from their Japanese output, Cinderella offers a disco-kissed punch of catchy refrains and swirling pop guitar. This is a really great song.. Vocals, harmony, really catchy lyrics, AWESOME all the way around, it even has me dancing.”
3. Radio (Wave, 2014)
“Pushing further into electronic dance music than they ever had before, Radio anchors its experimental sound with a dynamite melody and commanding vocal performance. I absolutely, totally love this song! It’s perfect from the first till the last note!”
2. Can’t Stop (Can’t Stop, 2014)
“Beginning as a ballad, Can’t Stop soon bursts into one of the group’s most addictively sing-along choruses, bringing with it a sense of 70’s-tinged euphoria. CN BLUE’s music style really has a distinctive band type. It get’s so catchy and addictive with YongHwa’s sweet vocal and featuring JungHyun manly tough voice.”
1. I’m Sorry (Korea Best Album ‘Present’, 2014)
“Punching forward with full-fledged pop/rock intensity, I’m Sorry catapulted CNBLUE’s music to an edgier, more aggressive place, giving us the band’s stickiest hook in the process. It’s a brilliant melding of syncopated, dance funk beats and crunchy guitar riffs, capped it off with an indelible post-chorus refrain.”
