The accompanying music video acts as a prelude to “THE X.” Through fluid, unforced scenes, it channels the track’s spontaneity and grounded confidence, capturing the feeling of artists who’ve tried it all, conquered, and are gearing up for their next chapter. More than a teaser, “Do What I Want” offers the first sensory glimpse into the vibe and energy of “THE X” – a hip-hop-forward cut that leaves a bold first impression with unique vocal chops.
Despite a minimal arrangement, the addictive hook, groovy bassline, and rhythmic drums cut through with clarity. Celebrating their 10th anniversary, MONSTA X let loose a playful yet powerful energy, showcasing mature confidence and deepened teamwork.
Opening the door to a new era, “Do What I Want” is both a clear prologue to the story about to unfold and a bold, confident statement that captures the essence of MONSTA X: intense, unapologetic, and unmistakably MONSTA X. Built on stylish synths and a heavy, driving rhythm, the track moves with fluid precision as vocals and rap lock in effortlessly, signaling the direction the group is taking next.
“Do What I Want”
Structurally crafted with melody and performance in mind, it’s primed for an explosive impact on stage and reaffirms the group’s commanding presence. “As the title says, we go our own way,” the group shares. “We go our own way. Do What I Want.”
More declaration than plea, the single doesn’t ask listeners to “trust and follow,” it draws a line: MONSTA X already moves by its own rules. Ten years into a career defined by world tours and global chart milestones, the group stands as both a symbol of K-pop performance power and a trusted brand to fans worldwide. Here, raw energy and sophisticated sound coexist; no longer trying to look strong, simply being strong.
