The countdown is officially in the single digits! As NCT WISH prepares to bring their “INTO THE WISH : Our WISH” tour to the New Frontier Theater this March 14, the energy in Manila is reaching a fever pitch.
To make sure you’re concert-ready, we’ve rounded up 6 essential tracks that define the NCT WISH experience. From their powerful beginnings to their latest hits, here is your pre-show playlist:
1. The Anthem: “WISH”
You can’t have an NCT WISH concert without the song that started it all. “WISH” is the perfect introduction to their “Fresh-Neo” DNA—combining old-school hip-hop vibes with a bright, hopeful melody. When the opening notes hit, expect the energy in the room to skyrocket as the crowd unites for that iconic first chorus. It’s the ultimate “manifestation” song that feels like a homecoming every time it’s performed in Manila.
2. The Energy Spike: “Hands Up”
If you’re looking for the moment the theater floor starts to shake, this is it. “Hands Up” is high-octane, gritty, and unapologetically “NCT.” With its heavy bass and rhythmic chanting, it’s designed to get the audience moving. The choreography is sharp and powerful, making it one of the most visually captivating segments of the show. Be ready to give it your all during the dance break—the boys definitely will!
3. The Visual Masterpiece: “Songbird”
“Songbird” is where the group’s artistry truly takes flight. This track leans into a more melodic, fast-paced pop sound with a “fairytale” twist that fits the group’s aesthetic perfectly. The “bird-like” hand choreography and the soaring vocals during the bridge make this a fan favorite. It’s a track that feels both magical and modern, and seeing the synchronized formations live is a total core memory in the making.
4. The Sonic Ignition: “NASA”
If the concert is a journey, “NASA” is the rocket launch. This track is a masterclass in “Neo” intensity—think heavy, futuristic synths and a bassline that vibrates right in your chest. Originally introduced during their pre-debut days, it has evolved into a fan-favorite performance piece that showcases their razor-sharp synchronization. In the intimate setting of the New Frontier Theater, the sheer power of its dance break is going to feel like an adrenaline shot to the heart. Brace yourselves, because once this beat drops, there’s no looking back!
5. The Serotonin Boost: “Steady”
“Steady” is a track that features a groovy beat and a chorus that sticks in your head for days. The fanchants for this song are some of the most satisfying to scream in a live setting. It captures that “best friend” energy the group is known for, making it the perfect anthem for a night dedicated to making lasting memories together.
6. The Viral Hit: “poppop”
Closing out our list is the addictive and playful “poppop.” This track highlights the group’s youthful, Gen Z charm with its “mischievous” beat and catchy hook. The choreography is filled with fun point moves (the “pop” gesture is a must-follow!) and playful interactions. It’s the kind of performance that feels like a giant party on stage, ensuring that everyone leaves the theater with a massive smile on their face.
