On July 25, 2023, STARSHIP Entertainment, the official entertainment company of the group MONSTAX, dropped the music video of the song on their official YouTube channel, and it became an instant sensation.
The song is part of the sub-unit's first mini-album, THE UNSEEN, and its edgy and powerful aura has fascinated audiences worldwide. Through the group's official Instagram page, both members were seen sending out a loving plea to their fans, asking them to support their new sub-unit by watching the video.
MONSTAX's first sub-unit HYUNGWON X SHOWNU releases their first song and music video Love Me A Little
The new track, Love Me A Little, will have the honor of serving as the title song of SHOWNU X HYUNGWON’s debut mini-album, THE UNSEEN. The lyrics of the song convey a deeply passionate and intense love, where the speaker is infatuated with someone to the point of obsession. The song explores the overwhelming range of emotions and feelings experienced when falling deeply for someone.
The music video, a mesmerizing blend of dark and light themes, showcases an interplay of lighting effects paired with an addictive melody. Water is a prominent element throughout the video, diffusing it with symbolism and fluidity. Hyungwon's and Shownu's attire also adds to the sensuality of the song.
Their ensembles alternate between blingy and shiny outfits (that add a touch of sensuality) and formal attire. Hyungwon's unique style stands out as he dons a crop shirt, exuding an air of distinction. The meticulously choreographed dance sequences have also left fans utterly enchanted.
Interestingly, the song's release provided relief to MONSTAX fans who were saddened by member Joohoney's enlistment on July 24. Taking to Twitter, fans flooded the platform with messages of support, congratulating the sub-unit on their new release and appreciating the concept of their new song:
