"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 her second EP, Choke.
Background
[edit | edit source]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", she 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
[edit | edit source]Poppy performed "Scary Mask" and "I Disagree" live at the WWE NXT in October 2019, during Io Shirai's entrance.[8][9]
Reception
[edit | edit source]The music video for "Scary Mask" is 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]
Accolades
[edit | edit source]"Scary Mask" was nominated for Best Music Video at the 2020 Heavy Music Awards.[13]
