"Monster"

You put me on a pedestal and tell me I'm the best

Raise me up into the sky until I'm short of breath (Yeah)

Fill me up with confidence, I say what's in my chest

Spill my words and tear me down until there's nothing left

Rearrange the pieces just to fit me with the rest, yeah

But what if I, what if I trip?

What if I, what if I fall?

Then am I the monster?

Just let me know

And what if I, what if I sin?

And what if I, what if I break? Yeah

Then am I the monster? Yeah

Just let me know, yeah

I was fifteen when the world put me on a pedestal

I had big dreams of doin' shows and making memories

Made some bad moves tryna act cool, upset by their jealousy

Lifting me up (Lifting me up), lifting me up (Yeah)

And tearing me down (Down), tearing me down (Down, down)

I'll take responsibility for everything I've done (Yeah)

Holding it against me (Yeah) like you're the holy one (Yeah)

I had a chip on my shoulder, had to let it go

'Cause unforgiveness keeps them in control

I came in with good intentions then I let it go

And now I really wanna know

What if I, what if I trip? (Oh)

What if I, what if I fall? (I fall)

Then am I the monster? (Am I the monster?)

Just let me know (Let me know)

And what if I, what if I sin? (Oh)

And what if I, what if I break?

Then am I the monster? (Am I the monster?)

Just let me know (Oh, please just let me know, yeah)

La-da-da-duh-duh (But what if I fall?)

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

La-da-da-da-duh-duh

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

La-da-da-duh-duh (Please don't let me fall)

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

La-da-da-da-duh-duh (Oh, please don't let me fall)

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

This song marks the first collaboration between Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber. Mendes told about it on YouTube Live, "At first I was writing it out of the angst of being a celebrity. You know, feeling like my life was being watched all the time. As I grew it became more about like this idea of perfection is not real. It's like you just have to surrender and kind of let go and be and love yourself. That pedestal is not only what society puts us on, it's what I put myself on. And I had to just be like 'you're cool even if you like to miss some note'. To put it basically, in the bigger picture, it's not just about singing it's about everything in life. It's okay to mess up."

Speaking with Zane Lowe of Apple Music, Shawn Mendes explained how this song came about, "I think I was coming off the back of a couple of big songs and definitely just so driven by my ego and just feeling like something in this feels not right. And it's always resonated with me. This song has always resonated with me and it just never found its way out. And now all of a sudden I was listening to it one day, and I just started my relationship with Justin. It just started forming properly in the last three months. And I called him and I was like, 'Look, I have this song. It's kind of going there.' We go there."
