About Monster

"Monster" is a song credited to American recording artist Michael Jackson, featuring 50 Cent, released on Jackson's first posthumous album, Michael. The song was allegedly written by Michael Jackson, Eddie Cascio, James Porte, and its rap part was written by Curtis Jackson. Along with "Breaking News" and "Keep Your Head Up", the song was allegedly recorded in the Porte/Cascios' basement in 2007. These tracks have been controversial since their release, with Jackson's fans and family members doubting their authenticity since release. On August 21, 2018 the California Court of Appeal heard the oral argument for the appeal. It was incorrectly reported that Sony Music had conceded that the three songs ‘Breaking News', ‘Keep Your Head Up' and ‘Monster' featuring 50 Cent was indeed performed by an impersonator, Jason Malachi and not Michael Jackson, however Sony lawyer Zia Modabber stated that "no one has conceded that Michael Jackson did not sing the songs"."Monster" had minor chart success and entered the UK Singles chart two weeks after the album's release. Due to the controversy, the scheduled single was cancelled.

You can look at them climbing up the walls
You can look at them climbing out the bushes
You can find them when their letters 'bout to fall

On the ceiling momma got you in a zigzag 
And you're running, and you're running just to escape it
