BABYMONSTER Openings: The Mood Is Set the Moment You Hit Play
A collection for intro listening, where the first sound and first line set the song's direction
The first 30 seconds of a song carry more information than you might think. Depending on whether it leads with the beat before the voice, opens with a short declaration, or strips back the backing track to bring emotion up close, songs by the same group can start off with completely different expressions. BABYMONSTER's music starts in a wide range of ways, not just with powerful chant-style openings but also with lyrical piano, low-slung rap, and short intros.
This list isn't a ranking of songs by overall popularity or chart performance. We chose songs that are great for comparing the very first sound you hear when you actually play the official recording, how close the first vocal feels, and how the energy builds up to the first chorus. If you listen to just the intro of each entry first, note down the mood you expect, and then play it to the end, you can also see whether your first impression holds or gets flipped midway.

Comparing the intros, you can hear that even BABYMONSTER's hard-hitting songs don't all start the same way. A track that declares its identity in a short time like “MONSTERS (Intro),” a song that leaves breathing room like “Stuck In The Middle,” and a song that builds tension right away through rhythm and the speed of its words like “CLIK CLAK” each draw the listener in differently from the very start.
At first, listen to them back to back for 30 seconds each, then extend the range until the first chorus ends. Comparing how close the genre you expected from the first sound is to the actual impression of the chorus also helps you describe your own taste more specifically. If you check the album name and version together on the official links, you won't mix up live versions or remixes with the originals, and you can accurately compare how the same song gets started.
