[Lyrics]
Woohoo, woohoohoo, woowoo
What they play, that all don’t matter
You’re the beat that’s breaking through
It’s the meaning that hits louder
We’re ‘bouta tune in to you
Don’t let the noise get in your way
You’re the rhythm they can’t replace
이제는 머린 뮤트해 심장 박동 노래해
You’re from the right, or from the left
Whether East or West, whether straight or gay
Every day and night, dance to your real vibe
Turn the effects down, let it all fade out
Play the whole world in Mono
(La la la la la da, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la da)
‘Cause love is louder in Mono
(La la la la la da, la la la la la
La la la la la la da la)
Turn the music up
Let my rhythm play loud
Love and dance in my house
Baby we could take the party outside to everyone
Take a chance on me, you dance just like everyone else
And I know you think just like myself
You’re from the right, or from the left
Whether East or West, whether straight or gay
Every day and night, dance to your real vibe
Turn the effects down, let it all fade out
Play the whole world in Mono
(La la la la la da, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la da)
‘Cause love is louder in Mono
(La la la la la da, la la la la la
la la la la la la da la)
‘Cause love is louder in Mono
We blame, forget, regret but who do you hear?
The lyrics couldn’t reach you
We blame, forget, regret let’s turn it all off
You know you’re born to love
(La la la la la la da, la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la da, la la la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la da, la la la la la la
La la la la la da la)
You’re from the right, or from the left
Whether East or West, whether straight or gay
Every day and night, dance to your real vibe
Turn the effects down, let it all fade out
Play the whole world in Mono

it only got colourful when they accepted each other for who they are… what a beautiful message
Omg yes😭 what a cool detail
I was so into the song that I didn't even realize this detail! Really such a well thought mv!
Oh gosh I watched this 10 times and didn’t notice
ahhh i love them so much
Yes I cried at the visual message
«if you love yourself you can love everyone» 😢
If you hate yourself, can you hate everyone?
@miyojewoltsnasonth2159 yes
@miyojewoltsnasonth2159Easily. Yes. And that's really sad.
@miyojewoltsnasonth2159 yup, I've experienced it.
"If you love yourself, you can love everyone"🥺💖💖
Yeah. 🙂
and that's how we know this is the right group to stan
"when you love yourself you can love everyone" ❤
God, i love i-dle so so much
I-dle is the group that we needed so bad
idle is what everyone wants to be, i love them
wow, i actually liked this song on the first listen
Fr
Me too. From the first teaser, I know I'm gonna fall in love with this
fr haven’t liked a kpop song first listen since focus and that was months ago
SAME ??? SUCH A BOP
fr it sounds vibe
This song is such a vibe!! It has that late night drive energy that really hits, especially if you are stuck in your own head.
helo big fan
@amairafathime (•̀ ∇ •́ )ゝ
I realized once again that I was supporting the right group.
yess
Fr that literally came across my mind while watching this

@ВалерияИшунина-н1кI'm referring to the part where Minnie and Skaiwater talk in the song.
@asifitsyourlast1996No, as I answered before. I'm referring specifically to the part where Minnie and Skaiwater talk :D
@goddessminnie4065 ohhhh❤
Congrats on the 3rd win, really making a shift from the normal sound of Kpop.
i knoww!! im so so happy for them
I also love that their voices aren't overly processed, you actually hear emotion and their personal vocal differences, that's so cool.
Go
Neverland❤
@anastasinscreed that's true!
The "when you love yourself, you can love everyone" part right into all the members singing the chorus made me cry. Thanks i-dle, I needed this and we all need your voice in the industry❤
Yeyy it's correct 💯💯
It was an honour to be a dancer in that incredible MV! I'm so grateful for that fantastic possibility! 🫶🏼
Previously I worked with them as an actor and now I took part as a dancer! Dreams become a reality! 💓

@miyeon_luvys No one cares about you either.
@miyeon_luvyswhy are you here then?
Best fandom
@miyeon_luvys Lmao such attention seeking behavior
It takes balls to express their views on these topics so openly, especially in S.Korean entertainment industry. Props.
not balls but bravery
que va lo hacen por que este grupo ya esta muerto ya toca un cambio chicas nuevas y mas jovenes
@kyonation2 bfr theyve been delivering this kind of messages since 2020 🥰
@kyonation2the whole point is that it doesn’t matter who you are, or how old you are, you are still free to express yourself and it seems like you missed the whole message of the song😢
Frfr
The ending lyrics of mono feel like a quiet hug. In an era full of judgment and blame, i-del brought comfort and kindness. This is beautiful.
You made a typo typing i-dle
Is this written by AI?
The video was very aesthetic.
한곡을 몇시간동안 계속 들어도 좋을것같은 노래다…
I love how Idle is a group that isn't afraid to speak up in their songs. I stan the right group ♥︎
oh my god. oh my god. i dont even know how to articulate how absolutely important it is for a large kpop group like i-dle to sing about acceptance WITHOUT sugarcoating it or hiding behind metaphors. saying it straight up to be whoever you wanna be no matter what is so incredibly powerful, especially in todays state of the world and how conservative korea is. i-dle will forever be THAT group, making changes and making people feel seen. queer kpop is so dear to me, and this song will be added to that list. thank you i-dle, we love you!! ❤
You are so right! It warms my heart to see this powerful, positive video with, as you said, no sugarcoating! The world is rife with conservatism and hate, the message of love and acceptance is all-important. Kudos to i-dle for coming out with this beautiful empowering vibe with queer k-pop which will make a difference. Soyeon's vocals and look are out of this world!
the mv being in black and white because colours symbolise love, and the colours coming back when you learn to love yourself making that much more of an impact because colours look brighter when theyre next to black and white and love is louder in mono
i-dle you never fail to make me love you more
I also think its a reference to people being more inclined to see things in black and white- its easier for one group to be right and one wrong and that like you said things do get better when we love each other
mono...chromatic
@nomenaodisponivel12what does that mean
@GenuineMusicFan only one color (for example, a picture only in hues of red). Technically it's different from black and white (B&W), but it's colloquially used to refer to it.
So proud of these girl❤
the visuals. the SONG. THE MEANING.
“The lyrics feel like a quiet hug, in an era full of judgement and blame, idle brought comfort and kindness” 🥹🥹🥹 I’m sobbing right now 😭 Their music has never been about the charts, but about bringing confidence and comfort to people.
THIS ^^^
yeyyyy❤❤
I-del never follow trends. They create their own.
PERIOD.
I agree
YESSS
Yessss
Slayy my girls my queens💅🏻🤛💥👑👑
please keep streaming mono on spotify its a hitt
This song is made to gather people and to give them a warm hug. Idle what would be Kpop without you ? The only group that speaks out and express a deep meaning. The only group that isn’t scared of the criticism. This group is just pure perfection
No, not the only group; they're just the youngest.
SNSD talked about great things in some of their lyrics.
Twice still has meaningful lyrics.
Mamamoo did that kind of thing for some of theirs (especially their solo projects).
Dreamcatcher did a trilogy about stopping online bullying and they did another trilogy about taking better care of our environment.
Get real and do some research.
@jamescurfman3284I see what you talk about but none of them have been this clear about for exemple the queer community, that is one of the most controversial issues if not the most in Korea
@Oka-routo Okay.
@jamescurfman3284Few groups would publicly discuss this. It's because in Korea, people tend to dislike this kind of thing. Many Koreans have already said that the song is too direct... but I'm proud that i-DLE was able to speak so frankly about it.❤❤
@lyting2010 I agree 100%. Amazing people, that entire group. 🎉
This is what music is supposed to do: art with a message
YEESSSS
kinda ironic if directed at the kpop industry 😬
that one kpop song in mind - TICK-TACK-TICK-DATICK-TACK
dz omha
Go 25M in 24h
"You know you're born to love." Such a hopeful line. I am tearing up.
진짜 이런 기획은 어떻게 하는걸까 노래기획부터 컨셉,헤매,의상,뮤비까지 그냥 너무 천재같음 천재들의 콜라보일까..
1:59 the bridge is just too BEAUTIFUL that makes me emotionall idkkk
Fr😩
frr
“‘The lyrics couldn’t reach you’ - but loving yourself makes it possible to love anyone''.
Each 'I-DLE' song carries deep meaning and gives so much encouragement.
To see a kpop group say our community by name in such a loving and gentle way means so much to me. I have never once regretted being a fan because idle has always shown they stand on business and practice what they preach. Thank you idle and Skaiwater for this beautiful meaningful song.
YESSS!!! Thank you to our queens for the visibility of our community 🥹🥹🏳🌈🏳️⚧️
we got 3 wins this era, congrats idle and neverlands
This isn’t just a song, it’s a message.
In a time full of criticism and hate, Mono feels honest, gentle, and needed.
💯🙌🫶

chatgpt generated comment
@naekkeonana me when I'm incapable of though:
@LolaKeith017 its very clearly written by chatgpt, the build is the sam: "its not X, it's Y", "in X, Y feels Z". very obvious plus this user wrote multiple comments like that.
i-dle always revolutionizing the whole industy
Go i-dle go
Happy new year all
Jesus God bless 😇💫
idle ate kpop industry again and AGAIN
아이들은 진짜 아티스트구나
Soyeon woke up and said: "let's make history!" in this era 💖
*AGAIN
2ND WIN!!!! CONGRATS IDLE!! WELL DONE NEVERLAND!!
They added a bit of serenity and a lot of elegance to their usual courage, sincerity and artistry.

10m
One is guaranteed that IDLE makes songs surpassing our expectations with unique visuals and concepts with deep meaning
I love this group deeply; they’re not just idols in the usual celebrity sense. They truly understand the meaning and responsibility of being role models for others.
they are the real artists
Degenerate role models? Certainly would not be a role model to the young people in my sphere. I hope parents are listening and ban this group from their homes.
@FindingMyWayBackToLife They're grown adult women, that have continuously been against whatever the rest of society wants to be "right" and "correct" even if they themselves as a group have made mistakes. They learned, and continue to learn, as we all should (and *hopefully* do). Don't you EVER say something this nonsensical again, cause you'll be wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME. Am I clear?
@lunar_aria_ I will say whatever I please. They are degenerates just like the people they are singing about. We need to go back to conservative values. Thank God I raised my son to steer clear of people like you.
Stuck with this MV since 22 hours 🥴
Mee tooo

1:52 one of the best bridges ever
SO TRUE
Frr
@Useless-e4jhow many comments ru gonna make bro
@Useless-e4j are u dumb 😭 you’re the type of person to say anything is cringe-
Ikk
nothing about this song is kpop or a kpop formula. but i appreciate this from idle, its genuine artistry
The thing about K-pop is that there is no formula.
@tkim2320let's not act like
verse 1 + prechorus+ chorus
rap verse + prechorus + chorus
bridge + last chorus isn't the formula
Nah, that group just became another generic american pop for musically tasteless people. That autotune dude was "cherry on top" yikes.
Guess I'm out of here, I'd rather listen to actual kpop, o/.
@RJ-vy4yd Close the door when you leave
@tkim2320 12 year kpop listener .. there is lmao
Beats in the pocket. Lyric on point. Melody hook. - I'm a Twice fan, but I'm loving IDLE's groove. Bravo bravo.

this is the group i’ve been proud of stanning for years. thank you my idle
Queens of the k-pop 4th win go
goosebumps, the meaning of this song is so powerful, my women did it again
this is the reason i’ve called this group home for so long. consistently standing up against hatred and promoting love towards yourself and one another in a world full of the opposite. this song is so incredibly meaningful and just as beautiful. idle, thank you 🤍
i-dle is really not your regular k-pop group! they have been vocal about this topic for so long and now here they are delivering message once again through their song!
I realized since their nxde released, their song always contain special meaning
@hajimerou they've released a song back in 2019 called Oh My God, if you check the lyrics it talks about loving a person of the same gender and feeling confused if it was wrong or right but she fell anyway and chose her.
@LolaKeith017 The album I Trust, which had Oh My God as the title track, actually had three songs about the same relationship -- Luv U and Maybe are also really really good, and not enough people listen to them
@LolaKeith017 yes, after nxde, I recheck their older song lyrics and coreo, design, everything. even Latata have deep meaning about self confidence and self love
I can feel the idle is baaaaaaack
이렇게 담백하고 솔직하게 다양성과 사랑, 연대를 이야기하는 그룹이라 사랑하지 않을수없음

I literally cried listening to this, as a gay person it touched me very deeply
even I'm straight I love you I respect you
Here in India where everyone literally mocks us gay people....this song is literally a supportive pillar for me too🥹✨
A russian fan and lesbian is here and I feel so, so happy and inspired when I listen to my brave girls😭❤️🩹
Idle probably made one of their best songs ever with this one
💯 agree with you. this is their best song (for me)
This doesn't sound like I-DLE at all, more like some kind of commercial song. They produce better songs on their own.
Her 256 songs madeherselft and 72 videos are epic
@betxengi5388yeah Fr but it was still good. But songs like Nxde, latata, tomboy, superlady, klaxon are all way better.
@b@betxengi5388little correction, this doesnt sound like the original (g)i-dle, this is the new i-dle, the new sound of i-dle. this is the new them, their new identity
love u my queens, glad to see you're still making bangers and advocating for what you believe
Shuhua’s voice is so charming, love idle🖤🖤🖤
im so so happy that im stanning a group who is not afraid to make changes. They’re growing with each comeback. Not staying with what made them popular or making trends of the moment. I hope one day, people other than nevies will realize that.
during a time where it seems like the whole world is regressing and going backwards I find it amazing that they put out something like this. the lyrics don't send a message in a roundabout way but instead it is clear what they want to say without any room for questioning. this is such a beautiful song and a beautiful mv.
We truly need it
The east asian music industry is healing us thanks to artists like them, Cheongha, Solar and Le Sserafim.
Atmospheric And Vibe🔥🤘
i-dle have always spoken up for queerness and equality, in many cbs and interviews! WE LOVE U GIRLS
Always believe in I-dle's music
idle has always been pretty straightforward on their stances, from tomboy to wife and nxde and even queencard and i think it’s really amazing that they’re using their music to share these messages, as women themselves i think they’re always moving in the right directions on their stances and opinions,,,,, hope more groups embrace this kind of energy and mentally….everyone get more woke now
U do realize that even some members said they dont fully agree with some of their songs like wife miyeon said this for example pls just know when kpop idols have a song its not thier opinions unless they say so gotta separate the artist from the music
@Cherrygirl9999 naturally they don't agree with problematic songs they're pushed to sing by companies but in this case there's nothing of it.
@Cherrygirl9999 When did Miyeon speak on wife? I was trying to look it up but couldn't find it! I'm curious about her perspective now that you mentioned it!
@John-vt5go she basically said how in wife the song is about makin fun of being a wife yhat cooks and clean yet that exactly who she wants to become when she gets older a wife who cooks and clean for her husband
@Cherrygirl9999Ooooo interesting take! Thank you for sharing :) Tbh I understood the song a bit differently. I don't think Miyeon was putting down her own groups song by saying she actually wants to be the type of wife to cook and clean..... rather their song feeels more like satire about how womens identities are often reduced to domestic roles. Women can choose for themselves but the song is pointing out how society often reduces them to just that. That's just my take tho!
THIS IS ART
Soyeon made a masterpiece again and again 🔥✨
Soyeon has no credit on this song
@tobiasvokoun3772 guess who is icebluerabbit
@xuanlee9216its soyeon?😭
@lilacwine2Minnie, Soyeon and Yuqi but it's just rumors, not 100% true
@tobiasvokoun3772so it's something like a sub unit? that'd be so good
THIS IS THE BEST SONG IN THE WORLD!!!
It's beautiful and elegant, and there's no way to pretend it means something different when it's said so explicitly. thank you
Nobody is doing it like I-DLE. I love them sm 🥺💜
I-DLE IS THE MOST UNIQUE GROUP EVER!! TO BRING THESE TOPICS!!
"Love is louder in mono" This is such a powerful line. One of the best lyrics that has ever come out of kpop if you ask me.
What does it mean?
@Ichigo2058 I guess love is not about skin color or gender. Also, it could refer to a concept in audio engineering when a mix is in mono, all sounds are centered, removing the spatial separation of stereo. This forces instruments that might be "hidden" in the sides to compete for space, often making the vocals or bass more prominent. Mixing in mono ensures there are no phase cancellation issues, leading to a clearer, more consistent sound that translates well on devices with only one speaker (like phones or, historically, radio).
According to Google - mono is audio designed to be heard from a single channel or source vs two. So I think they are saying to hear things from the source rather than bits and pieces on different sides
@Ichigo2058the other person explained it well, but i want to add that the song describes two competing sides, right and left, east or west, straight or gay, but love is louder when those divisions don’t exist and we are just people
Finally, a comment that identified the most important line in the song.
永遠教我們勇敢做自己的i-dle
the best of the best
노래 가사 뜻이 너무 좋다.. 요즘같이 셰게적으로 혼란스러운 시기에 딱 적절한 가사인듯.. 마음 편해지고 싶을 때 마다 들을 것 같음

a song I genuinely enjoy listening to and like

ㄹㅇ 이틀동안 온종일 듣는중 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
아이돌 뮤비 보면서 울어본건 처음이네..
we have come so far to have these lyrics from a major kpop group
From debut to now, i-dle’s growth has been unreal. MONO feels confident, bold, and completely true to who you are as artists. They keep evolving without losing their identity, and that’s what makes it so powerful.
As a fan since the beginning, it’s inspiring to see how they have carved their own path and become a reference for so many people.
Thank you for always pushing boundaries and staying authentic. 🖤
GOT THEIR 2ND WIN!!!
볼때마다 느끼는거지만 경이롭다 멋지다
i-dle once again proved they're one of the best groups in 4th Gen
The best* no one like them. No one can writte like them, rap or sing. Is just them.
