"Monsters" came out on April 3, 2020, as part of Wake Up, Sunshine, All Time Low's eighth studio album on Fueled by Ramen, with Blackbear featured. Alex Gaskarth sings it and co-produced it with Zakk Cervini, and the writing room was packed: Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Blackbear, Kevin Fisher, Andrew Goldstein and Demi Lovato share the credit. Gaskarth and Barakat play the guitars, Zack Merrick the bass and Rian Dawson the drums, and Neal Avron's mix buffs it to a glossy, arena-sized shine.
It had real staying power at alternative radio, sitting on top of Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart for 11 weeks. That December, after the band, Lovato and Blackbear teased the team-up with matching artwork on social media, the song came back with Lovato singing on it, and from there it entered the Hot 100 at 88 and climbed to 55.
