The song I listened to the most in 2017 was probably "new" by Yves, a member of K-pop group LOONA (the song was released under the band's banner). It's a transcendent pop song, and LOONA's talents have earned them a rabid global fanbase — #StanLOONA may have been a meme at one point, but now it's very real.
