MONSTA X Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)

DaydreamMONSTAX8rank/position

MONSTA X is a boy group born from an audition show.

Their song Daydream lays bare the turmoil in their hearts.

It portrays a man alone in a pitch-dark room, thinking about the loved one he’s lost.

Just hearing that setup already conveys a heavy, tangled atmosphere, doesn’t it? But if you listen to the lyrics, packed with subtle psychological depictions, you’ll be able to savor an even darker world.

Another appeal is how easy it is to empathize, thanks to the careful, detailed portrayal.

An electropop number that layers fading memories of love and a quietly tightening loneliness in pale blue.

It’s an English-lyric single released by Monsta X in November 2025, marking the members’ reunion after completing their military service and celebrating their 10th anniversary—the opening of a new chapter.

Following the September 2025 album “THE X,” this track showcases a mature, wistful sound that sets it apart from their traditionally powerful image.

Shownu’s warm, embracing low register and Kihyun’s delicate high notes pour passionate emotion into the lingering attachment to a love that has passed.

The ache of a familiar everyday life slipping away presses on the heart.

With its calm tones, it’s perfect for a quiet night alone, when you want to sink into your memories.

Their matured vocals will gently fill the hole left in your heart.
