Monsta X didn't waste any time.

Just four months after releasing Take.1 Are You There?—a studio album that peaked at No. 7 on the World Albums chart—the Korean boy band is back with the official follow-up: Take.2 We Are Here. The project combines pop, dance, and hip-hop sounds across 10 tracks, including the standout cut "Play It Cool," featuring renouned DJ/producer Steve Aoki.

"Recording the track was incredible because I got to work with such talented artists. Their voices and melodies and vocal performance on the track is amazing," Aoki told Metro UK about the collaboration. "I really wanted this song to touch people's hearts and minds. It's important that the performance really dives into someone's soul. And Monsta X knew how to do that."

Along with the album's release, Monsta X has shared the music video for the album's lead single "Alligator." Check it out below.

You can stream Take.2 We Are Here now on Apple Music/iTunes and via Spotify below.
