Just days after the release of their collaborative single “Monster,” Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber brought the live debut of the track to the 2020 American Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 22). The performance followed an emotion-filled performance of “Lonely” and “Holy” from Bieber.
The new song was written a long time ago and Mendes says the track is about “how society wants to put celebrities up on a pedestal, but as much as they want to do that, they want to celebrate the fall.”
