The song addresses both Bieber and Mendes' rise to fame and the way in which they were put on a pedestal at a young age. In the video, they can both be seen singing to camera on a stage outdoors at night.
Both pop stars were were born and raised in the province - Mendes in Pickering, ON and Bieber in Stratford, ON - and for years, fans were hoping for a collaboration between the two.

I’m sure you are well aware, but I would just like to say; you have produced two icons. Thank you for @ShawnMendes & @justinbieber :) “Monster” is simply sick!<3
Prior to the song's release, Bieber and Mendes joined forces for an YouTube Live where they discussed growing up in the limelight, and joked about the time Bieber didn't know who Mendes was.
They also announced that they'll be performing at the American Music Awards together.
