Overview
- Monsta X released Baby Blue on November 14 alongside a moody video that uses stark, symbolic imagery, including scenes of drowning and restraint.
- The song leans into mellow electro-pop with soft R&B harmonies, contrasting with the group’s more intense hip-hop-driven English work.
- The release follows their first six-member comeback in September after staggered military service, with I.M still expected to enlist this year.
- U.S. promotion is set with iHeartRadio Jingle Ball appearances in December and a concert film, MONSTA X: Connect X in Cinemas, on December 3 and 7.
- Early reaction includes a B- review from The Bias List, calling the track pleasant and moody but lacking long-term impact.
