7 Reasons Why BoA's 2005 hit 'Girls on Top' reigns as K-Pop's Female Empowerment Anthem

Fifteen years have passed since BoA's 5th studio album and the title track, Girls on Top, were released. It still sits at the top of K-Pop's female empowerment throne. During that era, many female soloists and girl groups focused on cuter concepts. BoA shocked the K-Pop world with this release as she was bold, confident, and fierce.

Here are seven reasons why in 2020, Girls on Top reigns supreme as K-pop's female empowerment anthem.

1. The fashion and the mullet.

2. The MV.

3. The lyrics.

Everybody demands that

I be ladylike

I don’t like how you’re

Gazing at me so oddly
(Weak woman, lovesick woman whoo)
Don’t demand from me
I’m not trapped in a picture frame
Everything is my way

I’m me

No one can take my place
(I’m not one to
Let things pass so easily)

I want my image

To be strong
(Don’t expect me to
Always stand in the shade)

4. The iconic jump on the dancer's back choreography.

5. The argument between BoA and SM Entertainment Executive Producer Lee Soo Man surrounding the dance.

6. The incredible 2005 MKMF Performance.

7. The celebrity covers.

What are your favorite moments from the Girls on Top era?
