It urges listeners to &quot;believe in the power of optimism&quot; and appreciate the small things in everyday life.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">2. &quot;Automatic&quot;</h1><p>The slow-tempo R&amp;B &quot;Automatic&quot; is the group&#x27;s first song as a quintet following Yeri&#x27;s addition in March 2015. Sleek and sultry, &quot;Automatic&quot; showcases the group&#x27;s &quot;velvet&quot; or mature side.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">3. &quot;Russian Roulette&quot;</h1><p>&quot;Russian Roulette&quot; is sweet, synth-pop perfection. What makes it all the more of a curiosity is how the song meshes well with a morbid music video, which follows the members apparently attempting to kill each other.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">4. &quot;Red Flavor&quot;</h1><p>&quot;Red Flavor&quot; packs a powerful punch from the get-go, opening with its hypnotic chorus largely driven by the members&#x27; impressive vocal harmony. It is arguably one of the best K-pop summer songs in recent years. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">5. &quot;Bad Boy&quot;</h1><p>Seductive yet subtle, &quot;Bad Boy&quot; is a delicious synth-driven track with heavy bass and trap elements. The song talks about the relationship between the titular &quot;bad boy&quot; and a cold woman. It&#x27;s also worth noting how cool the members look in athleisure in the music video.</p></div></div></div>
