Isn’t it kind of cruel to release a song called “Let It Be Summer” just as we’re entering the last few weeks of summer? I mean, you don’t have to rub it in, Young K!
This is a pre-release track from Young K’s upcoming full album. It’s a straightforward rocker, moving forward on pummeling guitar and cresting with a shout-from-the-rooftops hook. It could easily be a DAY6 track — especially from their Sunrise/Moonrise era. This sense of clear, unwavering energy is both Summer‘s strength and limitation. I don’t think anyone would call it the greatest song they’ve ever heard, but it’s hard not to be charmed by its single-minded aim.

The Bias List // K-Pop Reviews & Discussion 
Despite the back to school crowd heralding late August as the end of summer, I maintain that with climate change, summer lasts until mid-October now. At least in Chicago, we’re still in the 70’s if not 80’s well into October these days.
A cute song and video. I love the music video magic of Young K playing an unplugged electric guitar in the middle of the woods and us just believing it.

While that first statement is unfortunately true, I’m grateful that this has been one of the mildest Chicago summers in ages compared to the rest of the country/world.
Young K’s shredding on the other hand is anything but. I like the song it sits somewhere between anime OP and Yellowcard which I enjoy.
