"Scary Mask" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Poppy, featuring American rock band Fever 333. It was released through Mad Decent on May 29, 2019 as the second single from Poppy's second extended play (EP), Choke.
Background
In January 2019, the glitchy-pop song "Voicemail" was released as the lead single from Choke. Its music video served as a follow-up to Poppy's 2018 music video "X". During an interview with Interview Magazine regarding "Voicemail", Poppy announced that her next single would be "Scary Mask".[3] In April, she began posting teasers for the song.[4] During an interview with Billboard Music Awards, she announced the song's official release date.[5]
The song was written after "X" while Poppy was trying to expand on the idea of making more metal music.[6] She came up with the song's idea when she attended the American Music Awards wearing a black latex mask.[6][7]
Live performance
"Scary Mask" was performed live at the WWE NXT in October 2019, alongside "I Disagree" during Io Shirai's entrance.[8][9]
Reception
The music video for "Scary Mask" has been included in Revolver's Top 10 Best Music Videos in 2019,[10] as well as The Spaces' list.[11]
Danielle Chelosky of Kerrang! said "Poppy’s pop-princess energy clashes with FEVER 333’s dark-hardcore energy to make an especially creepy mix."[12]
