Monster In Me Lyrics
Beautiful creatures, you and me
Every time that we touch, it's dangerous
This spark is more than chemistry
Beautiful liars, drownin' deep
Every night we fight and it's hot like hell
But it feels like heaven between the sheets
[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne]
Every time we let go
I scream and I call for more
[Chorus: Perrie]
Touch me
Why don't we kill each other slowly?
What can I say? Baby, what can I do?
The monster in me loves the monster in you
Hold me
Squeeze a little tighter till we can't breathe
What can I say? Baby, what can I do?
The monster in me loves the monster in you
[Post-Chorus: Perrie & Jesy]
Monster in me
Mmm, mmm, ayy, ayy
Loves the monster in you
Mmm, mmm, ayy, ayy
Beautiful killer, cut me deep
Just a single kiss and I'm in your spell
Boy, you go in like I've never seen
Beautiful fire, love the heat, mmm
Every night we fight and it's hot like hell
But I love the way that you make me scream
[Pre-Chorus: Jade]
And every time I let go
I cry and I beg for more, more
[Chorus: Perrie]
Touch me
Why don't we kill each other slowly?
What can I say? Baby, what can I do?
The monster in me loves the monster in you
Hold me
Squeeze a little tighter till we can't breathe (Can't breathe, baby)
What can I say? Baby, what can I do?
The monster in me loves the monster in you
[Post-Chorus: Perrie & Jesy, Jesy]
Monster in me
Mmm, mmm, ayy, ayy
Loves the monster in you
Mmm, mmm, ayy, ayy (Hey, yeah)
Every moment we spend
Turning from friends to enemies
And fighting to hold on to each other
Every second we fall to fire below
It's so beautiful
The hell that we're both made for each other
But it's all love and war
Louder we roar
Crying for more
I know it's so wrong, but baby, just
[Chorus: Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jade, Jesy]
Touch me
Why don't we kill each other slowly?
(Slowly, yeah)
What can I say? Baby, what can I do?
(Baby, what can I do? Oh)
The monster in me loves the monster in you
(Loves the monster in you, babe)
Hold me
Squeeze a little tighter (Squeeze a little tighter) till we can't breathe
(I can't breathe, ooh)
What can I say? Baby, what can I do?
(Oh, what can I do, baby?)
The monster in me loves the monster in you
About
“Monster In Me,” the fifth track off Little Mix’s 2018 offering LM5 chronicles the story of two people who are insanely in love with each other, so maddeningly that each brings out the worst out of the other.
It is alleged to be the first song to be recorded off its parent album, which explains why it cleverly uses metaphors over a thumping beat (that seems to channel previous songs).
The song describes a bittersweet union, a tumultuous relationship where the lovers are aware that they are not good for each other, but cannot seem to let each other go.

Via Instagram, on now deleted highlight “making #LM5”, Jade Thirlwall posted some never seen before pictures and videos of the days they recorded “Monster In Me” and said this:
“Monster In Me” was one of the first songs we heard come in for the LM5 project before we began writing ourselves. It made my heart hurt in the most beautiful way. I believe it was the first song we recorded for LM5. It is probably the most vulnerable song on the album.
She highlighted the outro of the song and said:
That’s my favourite part of the song because of the harmonies.
In November 2022, the official demo for this track appeared online.
The lyrics remained the same, but the instrumentals & production on the finished song gave a more “pop-y” feeling to it.
