Love Monster is the debut studio album by Australian alternative pop singer-songwriter Amy Shark. Shark said "I think I want to start explaining it like the first two seasons of a great series you've just found. It's full of so much drama. There's first loves, there's rejection and lies and beautiful moments and nasty moments and there's a death. It's a great series." The album was supported by an Australian national tour throughout August and September 2018. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2018, Love Monster won Album of the Year, Best Female Artist and Best Pop Release. "I Said Hi" is the album's lead single, released on April 13th, 2018. It reached the top 10 and peaked at #6 in Australia. The song is about overcoming adversity and a nod to perseverance. Shark explains: "It's about the struggle of the ups and downs of the industry. It hasn't been a complete Cinderella story for me from day one. It's taken a while." "Don't Turn Around" was originally released on June 8th, 2018 as an album pre-order track, and was later confirmed as the album's second single. In a statement, Shark said: "It's a song that talks about the desire to run into someone you have feelings for, a history with who knows you too well." "Psycho" was released on June 22, 2018 as an album pre-order track and the album's third single. The song tells the emotional, relatable saga of vulnerability and the complications that often come with falling in love. The track features vocals from Blink-182 frontman
