The song was written by the 2 artists alognside Bebe Rexha, Aalias, Jon Bellion, Maki Athanasiou, and Frequency, with the latter also handling production. The Monster marks the fourth collab between Eminem and Rihanna, following the #1 hit song Love the Way You Lie in 2010, it's sequel \"Love the Way You Lie (Part II)\" and \"Numb\" in 2012 and is a hip-hop and pop song, with lyrics that describe Eminem pondering the negative effects of his fame while Rihanna comes to grips with her inner demons. \n\nIn November 2012, singer Bebe Rexha was at Stadium Red studio in Harlem, New York working on material to be included in her debut album. During the sessions, Rexha stated that she \"was in a really dark place, a dark head space. Figuring out where you are in life and trying to make shit work for yourself—it gets to you. You get super down on yourself. I was just trying to get out of a depressed phase.\" At that moment, she wrote the hook for The Monster, at the time titled \"Monster Under My Bed\"; in the moment she wrote it she knew that it was going to be a song for Eminem. \"Monster Under My Bed,\" written by Bebe Rexha, was originally intended to be used on her own debut album, the chorus was later used for The Monster. Rexha further stated that she got the inspiration from the quote \"about the monsters that are around us and that live inside of us\"; additionally, Rexha was disappointed at being dropped from the Island Def Jam record label. The Senior Director of A&R for Shady Records, Riggs Morales started looking for potential songs to be included on The Marshall Mathers LP II. When the producer of The Monster, Frequency, played the song for Morales he \"freaked out\" and asked for the verses to be stripped and ProTools sessions to be sent to Eminem. When Eminem heard the demo he then added his own verses and adjusted the instrumental portion(s) of the track. However, he left the background vocals sung by Rexha intact. On September 11, 2013, Rihanna wrote on her Twitter account that she had recorded a \"#monster\" hook for one of her favorite artists. On October 22, 2013, Eminem revealed the track listing for his eighth studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, including The Monster. Shortly after premiering the song, Eminem spoke of working with Rihanna again to MTV News: \"The perception of the record, what it's saying, I thought it would be a good idea to have her on it because I think people look at us like we're both a little nuts. That's one of the things that I was telling her in making the record: I think that people look at us a little crazy.\"\n\nThe Monster debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #3 on the week of November 16, 2013, marking Eminem's third highest entry following Not Afraid debuting at #1 in 2010 & \"Love The Way You Lie\" also featuring Rihanna debuted at #2 in 2010 aswell. The Monster tied Berzerk, which also debuted at #3 two months earlier. The entry gave Rihanna her 25th top-10 on the chart, equaling Elvis Presley for the eighth-most top 10 in the chart's history. This achievement also earned the singer the honor of being the fastest woman to accumulate the top 10 tally with 8 years and 4 months since her first single, besting Madonna's streak by 3 months. Furthermore, the debut marked Rihanna's 45th overall chart entry, tying Mariah Carey for the eighth most chart appearances amongst women. The song concurrently opened at #1 on the US Digital Songs chart, with sales of 373,000. The feat marked Eminem's ninth chart topper, giving him the third-most leaders in the tally's history, tying with Katy Perry with 9, and behind Rihanna, who increased her total to 13. The track also entered the US Radio Songs chart at #31, marking Eminem's second-best entry position following Just Lose It debuting at #17 in 2004. In the same issue, \"The Monster\" debuted atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, marking Eminem's first #1 on the chart of his career, and Rihanna's third. Furthermore, the song entered at #1 on the US Rap Songs chart, marking the sixth and fourth leaders for Eminem and Rihanna, respectively. The Monster topped the Hot 100 in it's sixth week charting, after previously rising to #2 on its second week charting and remaining there for 4 weeks behind Lorde's Royals for the first 3 & later by Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball. The Monster spent 4 consecutive weeks at #1 between December 2013 & January 2014 before being overtaken by Pitbull & Ke$ha's Timber. The song's ascent to #1 marked Eminem's fifth #1 and Rihanna's 13th #1 single, tying her with Michael Jackson for the fourth most #1 in the chart's 55-year history. With this, Rihanna ranked second in female solo artists with the most #1's on the Hot 100, overtaking Madonna & rising behind Mariah Carey with 18 at the time. Additionally, Rihanna became the fastest solo artist to achieve 13 chart-toppers, doing so in 7 years and 7 months, surpassing Mariah Carey's previous record by only a month, with 7 years and 8 months between her debut single Vision of Love in 1990 & My All in 1998, with only The Beatles having reached 13 #1's quicker, with 3 years and a month between I Want to Hold Your Hand in 1964 and Penny Lane in 1967. The song also rose to #1 on the Billboard Radio Songs chart, marking Rihanna's 12th and Eminem's third #1 on the chart. Rihanna also passes Mariah Carey for the most #1's on the Radio Songs chart with the song. For Eminem, he ties P. Diddy and Ludacris for the most Hot 100 #1's among rappers at the time, with 5 each.
