The song was released for digital download on November 18, 2016, alongside "I Feel It Coming" featuring French electronic duo Daft Punk, as promotional singles. It was later sent to US urban contemporary radio on December 6, 2016, as the album's third single. The song features background vocals from American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. Composition"Party Monster" is a trap song written in the key of E minor in common time with a tempo of 77 beats per minute. The song follows a chord progression of EmDCD. Music videoThe music video for "Party Monster" premiered on January 12, 2017, and was directed by BRTHR. 'Rap-Up' magazine described its synopsis: "[it] starts with Abel Tesfaye [The Weeknd] behind the wheel, driving through the desert before psychedelics hit and everything gets blurry. With religious and sensual imagery flashing quickly, The Weeknd is transported into a nightmare-like neon and fire-filled world where zombies make out while eating an eyeball cake. As the explosive (sic) clip resumes, it ties into previous visuals like "Starboy" and Abel's Mania vignettes, particularly with the neon cross and panther imagery. In one scene, said panther jumps out of a television screen, causing The Weeknd to sink into his bed. As faces continue to melt around him near the end of the video, he's back on the road. Recklessly, he drives at lightning quick speed, before watching a car drive off a cliff". BRTHR directed Travis Scott's "goosebumps" in a similar style. The cars used in the music video were a Mazda RX-7 FC3S and a Lamborghini Murcielago. Use in mediaThe song was featured in the seventh episode of season two (titled "Bruce Wayne") of the DC web television series 'Titans'.
