MONSTA X are doing things on their own terms.
Out now, 'Do What I Want' marks the explosive pre-release single from the K-pop titans' upcoming mini-album THE X, dropping 1 September. Powered by sleek synths, a pounding bassline, and razor-sharp rap verses, the track is a defiant flex of confidence from a group that’s spent the last decade redefining K-pop performance power.
Penned by JOOHONEY and I.M, with JOOHONEY also contributing to composition, the track channels unfiltered self-assurance: “We go our own way. Do What I Want,” the group declares.
Stylish, bold, and made for the stage, the song opens a new chapter for MONSTA X. Described as a “declaration more than a plea,” it doesn’t ask for permission — it sets the tone.
The accompanying music video mirrors the song’s liberated energy, showcasing a group that’s been through it all — and still evolving. Celebrating their 10th anniversary, MONSTA X deliver a grounded yet playful performance, with addictive hooks and undeniable stage charisma hinting at the energy to come on THE X.
