As the 13-member boy band releases their latest mini-album 'FML', we take a moment to look back at their previous song hits
Carats, as Seventeen's fandom is intimately called, were all in for a treat when 2023 started. From new episodes of the group's variety web show Going Seventeen released this year to the comeback of sub-unit BSS (BooSeokSoon), or their 7th annual fan meeting pushing through, Carats and casual listeners alike are well fed with content—and is blessed again with a new release.
On April 24, the boy group released their much-anticipated mini-album entitled FML. Six tracks appear on the album: F*ck My Life, Super, Fire, I Don’t Understand But I Luv U, Dust, and April Shower.
Not even a year has passed since their full-length album, SECTOR 17, was released, which earned the act a career-high on the Billboard 200 by peaking at number four.

As we listen to Seventeen's new tracks, let us take a moment to look back at their previous song hits as well.
1. "Hot"
With Seventeen's fourth album, Face the Sun, peaking at number seven on Billboard 200, it is no surprise that most have heard Hot once or twice—whether in the streets or at TikTok, where many personalities joined on in the song's dance challenge.
2. "Darl+ing"
Seventeen revealed once that Darl+ing is an ode to the idea of togetherness. As part of the group's fourth repackaged album, which heights reached the fourth spot on Billboard 200 last August 6, 2002, this song holds a special place in Carats' hearts.

3. "Very Nice"
It is universally acknowledged that Very Nice is the group's representative song. It's rarely missing in all their concerts and tours and is a song that both Seventeen and Carats hold close to their hearts.
4. "Pretty U"
As the song that brought them their very first "music show win" locally, not putting this song in a list of their hits would be criminal. Alongside Very Nice, this track almost doesn't disappear from Seventeen's setlist in tours. It's a must-listen.

5. "Rock with You"
Seventeen's Rock with You debuted at number 68 and number 43 on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl US charts, respectively. The song is the second and title track of the ninth mini-album Attacca.
According to member Jeonghan, it's about "Always wanting to be with someone you love and how you're willing to do anything for that person."
6. "_WORLD"
Also part of their album SECTOR 17, the song _WORLD reminds its fans and casual listeners alike that they have the power to define their world however they want to.
