5 Mentions Of "Americano" In K-Pop Lyrics For A Mood Boost

Americanos have long been known to fuel many K-pop idols. NCT’s Jaemin even went viral for his Venti Ice Americano eight shot order at Starbucks. The drink is an instant mood boost whether you drink one in the morning to wake you up or as a post-lunch treat. It’s no wonder the Americano has made it into K-pop lyrics. Check out some of these songs that mention “Americano” in their lyrics for a mood boost!

BTS – “Coffee”

This is a great song if you want a more mellow mood boost. While “Coffee” reflects on a relationship that ended, it is not necessarily a sad song since happy memories are evoked. The melody itself is soothing almost to mask the taste of a bitter Americano as reflected in the lyrics. An Americano can be bitter, but “Coffee” will help it go down smoother. It’s perfect for an afternoon when you want to get lost in your thoughts.

Red Velvet – “Power Up”

“Power Up” is a quintessential summer song that instantly puts you in a good mood. The lyrics that say, “I’m drinking an iced Americano/But why am I still so hot?” perfectly capture fighting off the heat during summer. But with an undeniable beat and catchy chorus, Red Velvet will instantly make you forget about the heat and dance along!

SEVENTEEN’s BSS Feat. Lee Young Ji – “Fighting”

“Fighting” is a high energy bop that has relatable lyrics to any student or office worker who has run late. In the first verse, Seungkwan sings about how an Americano will have to do for breakfast, a situation familiar to many. Just like how an Americano gives you a jolt of energy, “Fighting” will undeniably give you much-needed strength to get through your day. The BSS boys are there to root for you!

Yuju – “My Americano”

Yuju so sweetly captures the feeling of being in love with this OST song. Singing, “You’re like an Americano/I feel good,” the lyrics link the caffeine high of an Americano to the highs of spending time with someone you cherish. “My Americano” would be a great addition to any summer drive playlist to bask in the glory of love.

10CM – “Americano”

Of course the song that uses the word Americano multiple times had to be on this list. The constant repetition gives the feeling of caffeine jitters from when you drink too much coffee. Play this song on repeat for when you need to get those jitters out!
