Each individual member released a single album up until the group's official debut. A new member was introduced each month. Prior to debuting, the members also promoted in sub-units, each with their own defined concept.
On August 7, 2018, after an eighteen-month-long project to introduce the individual members, BlockBerryCreative released "favOriTe" as a pre-release to their upcoming debut album. A week later, on August 15, the tracklist for the album was released and the album was scheduled for August 20. The album was released as [+ +] and the title track chosen for the mini was "Hi High". The mini was positively received, selling over 50,000 copies, the second-best-selling album by a debuting girl group that year, and debuting at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart.
On the 25th of November, 2022, member Chuu was removed.
On the 13th of January, 2023, members Jinsoul, Kim Lip, Heejin and Choerry won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their exclusive contract.
On the 10th of May, 2023 members Vivi and Hyunjin have also won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their contract.
On the 16th of June, 2023, members Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Go Won and Hyeju (formerly known as Olivia Hye) won their cases for contract termination. All 12 members have officially left BlockBerry Creative.
On the 12th of July, members Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry officially had their first comeback as the sub-unit ODD EYE CIRCLE, their redebut being managed by their new company MODHAUS.
Members ViVi, HyunJin, Go Won, Hyeju and YeoJin formed Loossemble later the same year and made their group debut on September 15 with their self-titled mini-album under CTDE&M with the title track "Sensitive."

Butterfly
이달의 소녀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now, is it you now?
피어날 듯해 날개 달린 신기루
How? Is it true now?
날 감싸 안아주는 wind
새로 깨어나는 느낌
나를 채워가는 눈빛 (you)
이 순간 dreams, dreams may come true
넌 마치 fly like a butterfly
날 멀리 데려갈 wings wings
이대로 fly like a butterfly
귓가엔 바람 소리 wing wing wing
(Fly like a butterfly)
난 닿을 듯해
I better be around you
Fly like a butterfly
Fly like a butterfly
I better be around you
아찔해져 가 내 주위 모든 것이 blue
Now, with you you now
접힌 종이 달 그 사이를 맴돌 듯
I better be around you
시작은 작은 날개짓 이제 내 맘의 hurricane
Been been there, never been been there
세계가 점점 작아져 가
데려가줘 way too far 새로워져
이 순간 dreams, dreams may come true
넌 마치 fly like a butterfly
날 멀리 데려갈 wings wings
이대로 fly like a butterfly
귓가엔 바람 소리 wing wing wing
이대로
(Fly like a butterfly)
난 닿을 듯해
I better be around you
Fly like a butterfly 저 끝까지
Fly like a butterfly 더 멀리까지
Fly like a butterfly 저 끝까지
Fly like a butterfly
I better be around you
구름 위의 싱크로나이즈
새로운 이 느낌
Bling, bling, shine like a starlight
숨이 멎을 듯한 time
점점 완벽해져 가
Let me fly right now (let me fly right now)
넌 마치 fly like a butterfly
더 높이 날아가줘 wings wings
이대로 fly like a butterfly
스치는 바람 소리 wing wing wing
I better be around you
Fly like a butterfly 저 끝까지 (fly like a butterfly)
저 끝까지
더 멀리까지
이대로 fly like a butterfly
귓가엔 바람 소리
난 닿을 듯해
I better be around you
The song "Butterfly" by 이달의 소녀 or LOONA depicts the magical feeling of falling in love for the first time. The first verse talks about a strange feeling of déjà vu that wakes up something inside the singer. She feels like she's about to take off with imaginary wings. The next verse describes the overwhelming sensation of being embraced by the wind and the light in her lover's eyes. The singer considers that what she's living might be a dream, but she hopes it'll come true.
The chorus revolves around the image of a butterfly, a delicate and ethereal creature that can fly wherever it wants. The singer compares her lover to a butterfly that can take her away, far from the blue feelings she's surrounded by. She wants to be around him and experience the freedom he represents. The second verse talks about the start of a love story, symbolized by small butterfly wings, that turns into a hurricane of emotions. The synchronization of two hearts leads to a new sensation, like being in the clouds, shining like starlight, and feeling breathless.
Overall, "Butterfly" is a beautiful metaphor for the intense, passionate, and giddy emotions that love brings to our lives. LOONA captures this feeling with a surreal and dreamy tone, using vivid imagery and playful rhythms.

오랜만에 다시 보러왔어.
지금의 이달소를 보니까, 퀸덤에서보여줬던 이 무대가 너무 생각나더라.
저 날 무대 직관했을때까지만 해도,
우리 이달소 진짜 잘 될 일만 남았다고 생각했는데..
팬들을 위해 무대했던 저 날 처럼,
오직 너희만을 진심으로 응원했던 팬들처럼,
꼭 다시 무대에서 서로를 보는 날이 왔으면 좋겠다.
이 무대의 나비들 처럼,
지금의 이 역경을 이겨내고 힘찬 날개짓 보여줄 나비가 되길바랄께.

only LOONA can get downvoted three times and still come 3rd.
only LOONA can place 1st with a song performance of their last choice after being kicked out two times.
...and ONLY LOONA can win Queendom 2 after being given 0 points for round 1.
remember orbits, never lose hope. This is Loona we're talking about, the girls who defy all odds at every turn. The fact that we're even able to see butterfly performed in 2022 on a stage like Queendom is already a victory in itself. Orbits, the rest of Queendom is in our hands. Let's be for Loona as they always are for us.
Let's get them this win guys!!
edit: just wanted to add that the loss of those round 1 points does not matter in comparison to what we can gain in the final round. The final round weighs 60k points, so this can change everything. Once orbits work together and do what we have to do, we'll have this in the bag and there's nothing to worry about! Let's work hard guys!!
