Girls’ Generation, "All Night"
Sociable as they are, Libras love an excuse to party and to be reunited with their loved ones. "All Night," released by Girls’ Generation in 2017 to celebrate their 10th anniversary, evokes that mood nu-disco beats along with a nostalgic veneer. Tinsel and glitter adorn the 80s-themed party where the females dance and genuinely like their time together.

In their last promotion as a quintet, f(x) experimented darker sound as well as a belligerent concept.

EXO, "Unfair"
If there’s one thing Libras can’t stand, it’s unfairness.

And that’s fine.

Lay, "What U Need"
While presenting on the Chinese reality show
Idol Producer, Lay's frequent use of the word "balance" became a
meme. Nevertheless, upon realizing he's a Libra, this statement couldn’t be more on brand.

His work radiates aesthetics and integrity, and his solo debut "What U Need" is a prime example of that. The track’s strongest feature is its laid-back vibe. With that, Lay is able to appreciate a very Libran efficiency, having a good time with his dance crew in the video and flirting cheekily in the lyrics.
Biggest mood: "The blurred midnight stimulating danger / The red wine cup late at night / There’s nothing that can compare / To your fragrant scent."
KARD, "Bomb Bomb"

Biggest mood: "We already know / This night won’t last forever / Although till the morning comes / Let’s not waste time / Make it burn, make it burn."
(G)-IDLE, "Senorita"

Key, "One Of these Nights (Feat. Crush)"
Key was place on Earth on the cusp between Virgo and Libra, and knowing which one is his sun sign would demand his exact birth time. While that intelligence isn’t accessible, he definitely holds quite several Libra traits: his symmetric, sculpted features; his bubbly personality and plentiful friends; a flamboyant sense of fashion and manners. Key is a spectacle on his own, yet his solo work diverges from what would normally be expected from him. In "One Of these Nights," released last year, we are invited to a more susceptible side of his extravagant personality. Longing for an ex-lover, Key sings and dances through places where they built memories. While the in general atmosphere is chill and dreamy, the melody retains an inspiring momentum. This propulsion reminds us that life doesn’t stop, and we’re better doing it like a Libra: dancing in the rain as an alternative opposed to just sulking in a corner.
Biggest mood: Night deepens, there’s nowhere to go with my heart / I can’t pretend to be strong anymore / I can’t be in this space where you abandoned me / I can’t pretend to be strong anymore."
