[Review] Will You Be My Girlfriend? – M.O.N.T

A few days ago, I posted two reviews for the title tracks of newly debut male groups, ONEUS and VERIVERY. In the ONEUS review, I mentioned that the two groups were not the first to debut in 2019. On January the 4th, M.O.N.T made their debut with Will You Be My Girlfriend?. The male trio consisting of Narachan, Bitsaeon, and Roda is under Fly Music Entertainment. If all three members look familiar, this is because they were all previously on MIXNINE.

Will You Be My Girlfriend? is the type of debut song that fits into the bright category. But that sounds like it fits into the really dreaded aegyo sounding category, which it doesn’t. Will You Be My Girlfriend? has a very strong hip-hop influence. It isn’t one of a kind but it has a unique charm through the use of hip-hop influences and its catchy chorus. I personally like how the rapper is the main focus on the song. You don’t get to hear that much rapping in songs of this bright nature, hence why I described as unique. On the other hand, the vocals are just good. I felt like the vocals could have been more interesting. Like the rapping, they could have added an element of interest. But instead, it seems like the producers/members played it safe, going for a more typical route. Sure it was good but it wasn’t interesting is what I am trying to say. But other than, it was a nice debut track that does set them apart for its differences to other debut songs.

Fitting in nicely with the bright theme is the bright music video. But this is where the debut package seems to encroach into the cutesy and over-the-top domain. It isn’t the most cringest video to watch but it was fairly close, based on what I have seen in the past. And truthfully, I wouldn’t know how else to really put this video together without going into the said domain. They try to play towards their youthful image by acting in a bright and playful manner, trying to ask their crush out. It goes well with the song’s vibes and the lyrics. It just isn’t my cup of tea.

The choreography for this song is okay. They don’t go with anything too complicated, which automatically wouldn’t go nicely with the song. Instead, to fit that bright element, they went with simplicity. I did like the chorus’ dance moves and their smiles looked like they had a great time on stage.

Song – 7/10
Music VIdeo – 6/10
Performance – 6/10
Overall Rating – 6.5/10
