"Monsoon" was the opening shot of Scream, Tokio Hotel's 2007 play for the English-speaking world, and the German band didn't bother with a literal translation: the original "Durch den Monsun" would have come out as "Through the Monsoon", so they cut it down to a single word. Scream was their third studio album and their first in English, remaking songs from Schrei and Zimmer 483 for new ears; back home it went out as Room 483.
Patrick Benzner, Peter Hoffmann, David Jost and Dave Roth composed and produced it, and Bill Kaulitz shares the lyric credit with them and Rebecca Roth. What they built is big, brooding teen melodrama, the kind of wounded-heart anthem made for singing back at the stage at full volume.
