"View" is a song recorded by South Korean boy band Shinee for their fourth Korean-language studio album Odd (2015). Band member Jonghyun wrote the lyrics, while LDN Noise, Ryan S. Jhun, and Adrian McKinnon handled the composition and production. The song was released on May 18, 2015, as the album's lead single by SM Entertainment. The song incorporates deep house and pop, featuring stripped-down instrumentation. The lyrics are about how people's senses are intensified by love.
"View" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who regarded it as K-pop's first foray into deep house. In 2019, Billboard placed the song on its decade-end list of the greatest K-pop songs of the 2010s. It was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards. The song reached number one on the Gaon Digital Chart, and has sold over 724,000 digital copies in South Korea as of December 2015.
An accompanying music video was released to YouTube on May 19, 2015, and features Shinee going on an adventure with female fans and performing choreography to the song. To promote the song, the band performed "View" on several South Korean music programs, including Music Bank, Show! Music Core and Inkigayo.
