"I'm in Love with a Monster" is a song recorded by American girl group Fifth Harmony for the 2015 animated film, Hotel Transylvania 2. It was written by Harmony Samuels, Carmen Reece, Sarah Mancuso, Edgar Etienne and Ericka Coulter with production handled by Samuels. It was released to digital retailers on August 14, 2015 through Epic Records and Syco Music and serviced to contemporary hit radio in the United States four days later on August 18.[2] "I'm in Love with a Monster" is a pop song that blends elements of R&B, soul, and hip hop with "jazzy" rhythms along with heavy and funky beats. Critics drew comparisons to the musical style of girl groups such as The Supremes.
Lyrically, the track is about someone who is in love with a mischievous person, using "monster" as a hyperbole to describe their personality. The song failed to chart in domestic and international charts. Its music video premiered at the Sony billboard in Times Square on August 27, 2015 and features the group dancing in front and inside a hotel with actors dressed as monsters, in reference to the song's addition in the movie. Each member played a character for this video.[3] Live performances for this track included The Late Late Show,[4] hosted by James Corden and a special radio performance at On Air with Ryan Seacrest.[5]
The song was released to digital retailers as a single, and was later featured on the Japanese deluxe edition of the group's debut studio album, Reflection.
