BABYMONSTER attempted a musical transformation. Today (1st), BABYMONSTER's new digital single "FOREVER" was released. YG ENTERTAINMENT (YG) surprised fans with a teaser image resembling an invitation sent to music fans worldwide via official SNS on the 17th of last month. Following this, they unveiled the title of the new song "FOREVER" for the first time, announcing the release of their first summer song and building anticipation. The unveiled "FOREVER" caught attention with a new atmosphere that broke away from YG's unique color. "FOREVER" is a dance pop genre that reinterprets 1980s synth-pop, highlighting BABYMONSTER's image change. Particularly, the energetic charm with a gap from the charisma shown in their official debut song "SHEESH" is drawing attention. The members in the music video showcase a variety of appearances. BABYMONSTER made new attempts not only in musical genre and visuals, but also in vocal colors and singing styles. Asa's upgraded rap and Chikita's powerful dance performance leave a strong impression despite their brevity. The song has a refreshing sound suitable for summer. From catchy parts like "She's unlike unlike unlike anybody / Making a fuss everywhere / Canada, llama, bazaar / Gotta gotta go so c'est la vie" to easy-to-sing addictive choruses like "Baby it was all a dream / You thought I was yours / Don't misunderstand on your own / It's bitter it's sweet / Up to the high sky / I'm spreading my wings / Like I'mma live," there is enjoyment in listening. The music video for "FOREVER" surpassed 1 million views in less than an hour after its release, showing a smooth start. With interest in BABYMONSTER's new song growing, attention is focused on whether they can set a new record in the intense music industry of July.
