The group was formed through a MNET survival reality show called FINDING MOMOLAND. They debuted with seven members originally, but in April of 2017, Duble Kick Company confirmed they would come back with two new members: Daisy and Taeha. Taeha and original member Yeonwoo left the group in November 2019. Daisy's status as part of the group is unconfirmed, but she is suspected to no longer be part of the line-up. The current line-up consists of Hyebin, Jane, Nayun, JooE, Ahin and Nancy.
On April 26, 2017, they released their first single album Wonderful Love. The single album also contained three tracks from their previous album. Later that year, on August 22, they released their second mini-album Freeze! along with title track "Freeze". While promoting b-side "Wonderful Love (어마어마해) (EDM Ver.)", member JooE's dancing went viral in South Korea. An advertising company spotted her, and she landed a Tropicana CF.
On January 3, 2018, they released their third mini-album GREAT! along with title track "뿜뿜 (Bboom Bboom)". The title track was composed by Shinsadong Tiger. The title track was a hit, peaking at four on the Gaon Digital Chart and the Billboard World Chart. The song won MOMOLAND their first win on January 11 on M! Countdown. They later got their second and third wins on Show Champion and The Show.
On January 27, 2023, MLD Entertainment announced the group has departed from the label following the expiration of the members' contracts, however, they did not explicitly state that the group has been disbanded. On Valentines Day the following month, it was officially announced MOMOLAND had disbanded.

Uha uha nobody but me!
빛나! 저 태양처럼 (just do it like this)
Only one 내가 되고 싶어 (nobody but me)
빛나! 저 태양처럼 (just do it like this)
날 믿어 get a chance
우리 아님 누가 빛나
행운 follow me 모두 gathering
더 멀리 world wide 까지 gathering
뭘 믿고 자신감 too much
묻는데 나 just do it
Nobody 그 누구도
대체 할 수 없어
어디 없어 왜냐면
내 길 내가 결정해 baby
가고 싶진 않아
남 따라 저 멀리
할 수 있는 모든 건 다 해보면서 살래
Just 나답게
나 아님 누가 make it
내일을 알 순 없어
No wait 내 길 now 선택해
매일을 전부 make it
내게 온 super duper lucky (lucky)
Get ready 준비 됐어
보여 줄 내 전부를
Just do it like this
빛나! 저 태양처럼 (just do it like this)
Only one 내가 되고 싶어 (nobody but me)
빛나! 저 태양처럼(just do it like this)
날 믿어 get a chance
우리 아님 누가 빛나
Sing a song 나나나나
누군가 be happy
눈부신 저 태양처럼
네게 빛이 될게
안되다가도 돼
되다가도 fail
신경쓰지 마 좀 뭐 어때
곁에 있을게 너 위한 노랠 부를게
날 믿고 따라 와도 돼
미래를 알 순 없어
No way 내 길 now 선택해
내 모두를 전부 make it
내게 온 super duper lucky (lucky)
Get ready 준비 됐어
보여 줄 내 전부를
Just do it like this
빛나! 저 태양처럼 (just do it like this)
Only one 내가 되고 싶어 (nobody but me)
빛나! 저 태양처럼 (just do it like this)
날 믿어 get a chance
우리 아님 누가 빛나
Just just do it like this
Just just do it like this
Just just do it like this
Uah uah uah uah
Super lucky
내 노래 따라 불러줘 baby
Super lucky
최고의 이순간을
Super lucky
안 들리는 데가 없어
믿어 get a chance
우리 아님 누가 lucky
