List of songs written by I.M

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Im Chang-kyun is a South Korean rapper and songwriter, also known by the stage name I.M. He is a member of South Korean boy group Monsta X and has been a credited writer on the majority of their discography.[1][2] Since Monsta X's debut in 2015, I.M has been involved in songwriting for the group's discography, primarily in writing his raps for all of their albums.[3] In addition to Monsta X's discography, he writes and produces for his solo work and collaborative projects.[4]

Since 2020, the songs he composed for Monsta X have charted on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. For Monsta X's album Fatal Love, the song "Night View", on which he was both a writer and composer for, ranked number thirteen on the chart, without separate promotions or performances, as a single.[5] "Rotate", the song in which he wrote and composed for Monsta X's ninth EP One of a Kind, also placed number thirteen on the chart.[6]

In addition to his work in Monsta X, I.M debuted as a soloist on February 19, 2021 with his self-produced EP Duality, along the title track "God Damn".[7] I.M was noted as showing versatility as an artist and expanding his musical style with his solo EP, when compared to his work in Monsta X.[8][9] Furthermore, all the tracks from Duality charted on the weekly Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, accounting for 20% of that week's chart when it was released.[10]

As of March 2024, I.M has a total of 137 writing and producing credits registered with the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA).[11]
