It's like they took all the feels of growing up and put them into one epic song 
. I've been a fan since their debut album in 2020, remember when they dropped "All About Luv" and it was like, what is this K-pop magic? 
They're killing the game with this new single 'Growing Pains'... can't wait to see what's next for them! 
And I'm also curious about how this album will be different from their previous ones, now that they've got some real-life experience under their belts 
"
anyway, can't wait for the album drop! 
. I mean, I love the message behind "Growing Pains" as much as the next person, but can't we get some fresh production instead of relying on tired power ballad tropes? 
And don't even get me started on how predictable the hook is... been there, done that. Still, I guess it's always good to see Monsta X pushing out new music and experimenting with their sound 
. Can't wait to hear what they come up with next! 
. I mean, who hasn't struggled with finding their place in the world? It's refreshing to see them being honest about it. The '80s vibe is on point too - it's like they're channeling some serious nostalgia 
. This single is definitely a highlight of what's to come from them this year... can't wait to dive into that new album 
. the '80s vibe is on point too, gives me all da feels 
Like they're trying to push some kinda agenda or something. "Growing pains" is just code for the government controlling our minds, makin' us accept our own flaws... 
I mean, think about it, every time someone says "you gotta love yourself," that's just a red flag right there 
Monsta X is onto somethin', but I'm not convinced this is all about the music...
