New York, NY (Top40 Charts) YG Entertainment's rising K-Pop group, BABYMONSTER, debuted their new single "FOREVER." The summer pop anthem follows their record-breaking debut EP [BABYMONS7ER] and arrives just a few months before their highly anticipated first full-length album, which is due later this fall.
BABYMONSTER have been recognized across the globe as one to watch - they were named Billboard's K-Pop's Star to Watch, one of NYLON's Bands to Watch in 2024 and, most recently, one of Teen Vogue's Girl Groups to Watch. They were also recently featured in Teen Vogue.
Their debut EP [BABYMONS7ER] was released on April 1st and sold 400,000 copies upon release, breaking the record for highest first-week album sales for a K-pop girl group. It features smash hits "BATTER UP," "SHEESH," and "LIKE THAT," which was written for the band by global superstar Charlie Puth.
"SHEESH" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Global Chart and No. 33 on the Billboard 200 chart - it has remained on the chart for 12 weeks. Billboard called the song "pop-rap magic" and named it one of the best pop songs of the week upon release. The music video debuted at No. 1 on YouTube's global music video ranking and is soon to reach 260M views.
