Before their debut, the boys participated in the survival show NO.MERCY. The group name has the double meaning of monsters conquering the K-pop scene and my star (MON means 'my' in French). X is an unknown existence.
They officially debuted through M! Countdown on May 14, 2015 with " 무단침입 (Trespass)". Their first music show trophy came with "DRAMARAMA" through The Show on November 14, 2017, while the album, THE CODE, peaked at #1 on the Gaon Album Chart.
They released their first Japanese-only single "SPOTLIGHT" on January 10, 2018.
In February 2020, Monsta X's first English album All About Luv ranked number five on the US Billboard 200 and number seven on the US Rolling Stone Top 200.
Since debut, Monsta X has been known for their aggressive style, combining elements of hip hop, EDM and pop. This aggressive style with "tracks centred around loud, clattering, electronic instrumentals, vicious rap verses, and striking vocals" has been influential across the fourth generation of K-pop.
On December 10, Monsta X released their second English-language album The Dreaming, which includes the previously released single "One Day" and nine new tracks. They also released a documentary/concert film Monsta X: The Dreaming on December 8 in South Korea and on December 9 and 11 in seventy countries around the world. The film contains exclusive interviews with the members, clips from their US activities, special stages, and the group's six-year journey. The group will be joining iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball Tour and is set to perform at Philadelphia on December 13, Washington D.C. on December 14, Atlanta on December 16, and Miami on December 19.
LOVE U

내게 커다란 날개
선물해 준거야 넌 그래
그래 내게 그렇게
하늘색 새장이 돼 줘
그래 그래 그렇게 내 손보다 크게
이런말하기 좀 뭐하지만
아침에 눈을 떠 천장을 봐도
네 웃는 얼굴이 또 보이는 거야
바쁘다 오늘도 널하고 널하고
보니까 바쁘다 바쁘다
좋아한다 널 좋아해 좋아해
이런 말로 표현하긴 부족해
사랑한다 널 사랑해 사랑해
이런 말로 표현해
널 하다 널 하다
널 하다가 오늘도 밤을 또
몇 갠지 세잖아
널 하는걸 말곤 하루 종일 love
바보야 하루 종일 온종일 love
바보야 하루 종일 온종일
두 볼은 발그레 진 채 제대로 못 봐
내일도 똑같겠겠지 그저 한숨만
누군가 나타나 내 말을 네게 전해다 phew, phew, phew
Love ya
좋아한다 널 좋아해 좋아해
이런 말로 표현하긴 부족해
사랑한다 널 사랑해 사랑해
이런 말로 표현해
널 하다 널 하다
널 하다가 오늘도 밤을 또
몇 갠지 세잖아
널 하는걸 말곤 하루 종일 love
바보야 하루 종일 온종일 love
바보야 하루 종일 온종일
내 심장은 나보다 먼저
Yeah 네게 뛰어가
그 친구 너 가져
OK 미안 친구야 don't call me
나 지금 좀 바빠 널 하는 일 중
내 관심사는 오로지 너뿐
흥미로워 널 한 뒤
또 기다려져 넌 cartoon
어제보다 오늘 아니 내일 더
어제보다 오늘 아니 내일 더 ah
널 하다 투투투 하루가
널 하다가 오늘도
밤을 또 몇 갠지 세잖아 (세잖아)
널 하는걸 말곤 하루 종일
어제보다 오늘 아니 내일 더
어제보다 오늘 아니 내일 더
어제보다 오늘 아니 내일 더

바보야 하루 종일 온종일
The lyrics to MONSTA X's song LOVE U express the singer's desire to express their feelings for someone, but feeling hindered by societal restrictions. The opening lines "Simmer down, I know, I know what you been on about" indicate a frustration with the status quo, a desire to break the rules or expectations of what is socially acceptable. The singer recognizes the challenges presented by the presence of others, as they question "What can we do with all your friends around?" Yet despite these obstacles, the singer confesses their desire, repeating "I want you" throughout the song.
The chorus expresses the crux of the song's message, as the singer laments their inability to express themselves fully due to external restrictions. "But I can't say the word I want to/ 'Cause they won't play it on the radio," the singer admits, referencing the censorship and regulation of media that often limits open discussions of sexuality or romantic love. Despite this, the singer believes that their intended recipient understands their meaning, as they repeat "But I know you know/ What I mean, what I mean." The song ends with the repeated assertion that "You already know," indicating a sense of mutual understanding between the singer and their desired partner.
Overall, the song Love U reflects on the complexities of romantic attraction and the societal constraints that can limit our ability to express these feelings openly. The singer's repeated assertion of desire in the face of external restrictions emphasizes the strong emotional pull of these feelings, even when they are not allowed to be fully expressed.
