It's Taylor Swift Friday New Music Friday and this week's best new music releases pack a big punch — meaning 31 total songs across the two volumes of The Tortured Poets Department. Swift's mammoth project might be dominating headlines, but there's plenty of other good stuff to pay attention to this week.

On the K-pop front, we have comebacks from the likes of BOYNEXTDOOR, RIIZE, and ONEWE giving us everything from pop-punk and house to rock. On the Latin front, two major producers — DJ Snake and Sky Rompiendo — have linked up with two of the biggest Latin stars — Peso Pluma and Rauw Alejandro — to drop some summery bops.

But why tell you when you can just listen? Below, find Teen Vogue's best new music for the week.

DJ Snake & Peso Pluma, “Teka”

French producer DJ Snake and Mexican star Peso Pluma are making sure people stay tuned to their Coachella sets during weekend two of the festival by releasing one of the hit tracks of the summer with the infectious “Teka.” One listen, and it will be stuck in your head.

BOYNEXTDOOR, “Earth, Wind & Fire”

BOYNEXTDOOR's second mini-album has arrived in the form of HOW? with “Earth, Wind & Fire” leading the six-track project. With love as the main conductor, the KOZ Entertainment septet continue to carve out their unique soundscape, going from pop-punk-inspired gems to melodic ballads. Teen Vogue's standout track is “Amnesia.”

Taylor Swift, The Tortured Poets Department & The Anthology

What can we say about Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department and TTPD: The Anthology that hasn't already been said in the few hours since its release? After much anticipation, the popstar surprised fans with 31 new tracks after the unveiling of a secret double album, complete with a handful of name drops and even a potential Kim Kardashian diss track. (If that description is not enough, you can see how the Teen Vogue group chat reacted to the new songs here and our full album review here.)

RIIZE, “Impossible”

The SM Entertainment rookies are back with house-inspired number “Impossible” with a groovy music video filmed in Lisbon, Portugal. “Impossible” is the first taste of something bigger that RIIZE is cooking up, with three B-side tracks slated for an April 29 release and a mini-album following suit in June.

ONEWE, “추억의 소각장 (Beautiful Ashes)”

For the third installment of their Planet Nine series, South Korean rock group ONEWE returned to their signature catchy yet melancholy sound with the single “Beautiful Ashes.” Flanked by B-sides also showcasing their stronger rock and lighter pop sides, Planet Nine: Isotropy is the group’s first comeback together again as five following two of the eldest members' military enlistment.

Lucky Daye, “HERicane”

New Orleans singer-songwriter Lucky Daye is back with funky synth-pop number “HERicane," the first track teasing a new era for the star. “Hope y’all are ready for this new era just as much as I am!” he teased on Instagram.

Sky Rompiendo & Rauw Alejandro, “Espectacular”

Acclaimed Latin producer Sky Rompiendo has teamed up with Rauw Alejandro for “Espectacular," featuring all the classic elements of a reggeaton hit and a taste of Alejandro's mellow falsetto.

ASTRO's JinJin feat. Moonbin, “Fly”

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of Moonbin's death, ASTRO member JinJin has released a sentimental special digital single called “Fly,” featuring vocals from the late member.

Elyanna, “GANENI”

Just before heading into festival season, in which she'll play Governors Ball and Lollapalooza, Elyanna dropped her debut album, Woledto. Her single "Ganeni" merges her Chilean and Palestinian roots with Latin instrumentals, Arabic lyrics, and other Middle Eastern sounds. The catchy pop song and its accompanying music video may induce dancing — preferably belly dancing.

Perrie, “Forget About Us”

Former Little Mix member Perrie Edwards is reintroducing herself as Perrie with pop number “Forget About Us," her first solo release and first taste of her upcoming album. Speaking about the track in a press release, Perrie said: “I look back on past relationships and do think happily about those times. Do I want to be there now? No. It didn’t work out that way and if it was supposed to be it would have happened. Relationships have been a huge part of my life and they've made me who I am now. I think it’s a nice sentiment to be honest about and it’s super relatable.”
