Critical reception

According to Tamar Herman of Billboard, "Who Do U Love?" demands to be danced to as it is driven by a "blend of sleek bass, snappy beats, and shimmering synths" that create an "addicting, groovy melody" propelled by a "rhythmic choral hook".[5]

Commercial performance

In August 2019, the single debuted on Billboard Mainstream Top 40 Airplay and made Monsta X the second Korean group to reach this milestone, alongside BTS, followed by Blackpink and Loona.[6][7]
