The best things in life are always unexpected.

Late last night (02/05), NCT's Taeyong dropped a surprise single featuring EXO vocalist and fellow SuperM member Baekhyun that was released exclusively via SoundCloud. Entitled 'Monroe', the track was written and composed by Taeyong alongside hip-hop producer SQUAR.

Following the surprise release, fans took to Twitter to express their excitement.

Listening to this snippet of monroe taeyong played in 2019 and it got me thinking... baekyong had been working on this collab since then? That sounded like baekhyun’s voice but i’m not 100% sure pic.twitter.com/oproOLfc9k

'Monroe' comes as the latest in a string of SoundCloud-released tracks from Taeyong. Previously, he dropped 'Dark Clouds', 'GTA', and 'Blue'. 

The track also follows Baekhyun's latest Japanese mini-album Bambi that was released last March.
