The song also featured Baek Ye-rin from the duo 15&. Check out snippets of the lyrics! What is it? What is it about you?

#4 Bonnie & Clyde
The fourth of our recommendations is Bonnie & Clyde. This song is the second track off Dean’s EP, 130 Mood: TRBL. Bonnie & Clyde released as a single, three days prior to the Extended Play in 2015. The music video portrays a relationship that’s coming to a catastrophic end – just like the iconic pair after whom the song is named. Check out these snippets of the song! Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde One night Who cares Who cares Just friends, just friends Alright Who cares Who cares come quickly come quickly Alright Who cares Who cares Till we die till we die Oh Even if this is our last day together And also this: Hit the accelerate so we have no worries So nobody can recognize you Ah yeah Speed put at the maximum A rolling stones song Play on but no matter what song I play Not only is Bonnie & Clyde a great song perfectly captures the toxic relationship between a couple, but the music video is also very aesthetically pleasing. The song implies that they are just friends with benefits, and in the end of the music video, Dean kills the girl out of frustration and ends up also killing himself, probably filled with remorse and regret because at the end he was singing “How much I love you, how much I need you”, but he killed her and he didn’t have her anymore so he killed himself. So many feelings in just one song! Let’s see what netizens thought about this song: [+5.6k] People be sleeping on this song [+2.2k] underrated songs are usually better than overrated ones and….THIS IS UNDERRATED AF [+381] u know how sometimes u come across a song that begins a new chapter in your life? this song… is one of them. it’s so unbelievably gorgeous Dean really never has any bad songs, huh?
#5 D (Half Moon) feat. Gaeko
The fifth song on our recommendations is D (Half Moon). The song released on March 23, 2016, and featured rapper Gaeko. Half Moon has an inventive, unbelievably soulful, melody, which keeps the song fresh and attractive throughout. Both the verses and the choir are a winding display of push and pull, rather than following a humble route. Organically, the peaks and valleys arrive to give it a near freestyle vibe. Check out these snippets of the lyrics! Nothing’s really different It’s the same air It’s the same bed Looking at the same ceiling Why do I feel so empty For no reason at all It’s been a few hours Since I’ve been spacing out And also this: Nothing comes even close To half of you It can’t fill me It doesn’t fill me up, yeah Just half If only I had just half of you Then I wouldn’t feel like this Here are what netizens commented about the song: [+3.3k] Is there a religion devoted to dean’s voice because where can I join [+742] I’ve been listening to this song hundreds of times [+2] Stan Dean for true good quality music Stan Dean, indeed, for he always produces good, quality music that never disappoints us.
