It’s nothing new for G-Dragon to compose a song. In fact, he did it for his group BIGBANG, his solos, co-members and the songs he appeared on.
But it’s rare for him to create songs for other artists, with BABYMONSTER being only the third after 2NE1 and iKON in his entire career.
G-Dragon rarely creates songs for other artists, he only creates songs for BIGBANG/members, or if he is featured in other artists’ songs. Here are the few songs that GD helped make for other artists:
2NE1, “Good to You”
iKON, “I miss you, it hurts”

Shortly thereafter, MNET released a statement responding to the announcement.
“The lineup of artists who will participate in the 2024 MAMA Awards has not yet been decided,” the network said.
Attention is now focused on whether the trio will confirm initial rumors and perform for MAMA spectators once again, following their last appearance at the ceremony in 2015.
