After years apart, beloved boy group MONSTA X has finally returned as a six-member group with the pre-release single “Do What I Want.” Ahead of the band’s first mini-album in two years, members JOOHONEY and I.M penned a boastful letter of confidence in the form of a bouncy track starring sleek synths and a pulsating rhythm designed to make listeners feel as self-assured as the message intends.

“Do What I Want” acts as the commencement of a new era for MONSTA X, one that’s bold and free-spirited. Ten years into the band’s career, and they’re more unapologetic than ever, with the group emphasizing their new carefree attitude, stating:
As the title says, we go our own way. We go our own way. Do What I Want.
The loose and joyous spirit of the pre-release track sets the tone for the ensemble’s upcoming mini-album ‘THE X,’ promising more daring themes, classic MONSTA X vocals and a hip-hop sound infused with groovy melodies and rhythmic beats.
