The Hidden Design of BABYMONSTER Albums Between the First and Last Tracks
A collection of the tracks that open and close the EPs, full-length albums, and official live albums
An album's first track sets the world the listener is about to enter, and its last track chooses the feeling that lingers once playback ends. If you look at BABYMONSTER's records by their beginnings and endings instead of listening to the title tracks on their own, each album reveals a different editing intent, like declaring an identity with a short intro or returning to the starting point with another version of a familiar song.
This list picks the openers and closers of EPs, full-length albums, and official live albums based on the actual track numbers shown on Apple Music. Singles were left out because with only one song, the start and the end are the same. Listen to the two tracks as a pair and compare whether the last track completes the expectation set by the first, or closes at a completely different temperature, and you'll find a reason to listen to the whole album.

Linking just the first and last tracks gives you the outline of a record, but don't forget that everything in between has been skipped. To hear how the rhythm and lines introduced by the opener have changed by the closer after passing through the middle tracks, be sure to listen in the original track order next time. The same song can also play a different role on a single than on an album.
Start by comparing the two ends of each record, then pick the one album whose gap made you most curious. Guess whether the last track would follow naturally after the first, or what kind of change seemed needed in the middle, and check your answer by playing the whole album. On live albums, crowd sound and the flow of the show are added, so you can hear a different kind of ending from a studio album.
