'Justin and I were never enemies. We were maybe not friends. I was not texting [Justin] and being like, "Yo, how you doing today?," but we were never enemies, absolutely, and that's kind of something that people maybe might've turned it into at some point,' he explained.

We've known each other for a few years but for some reason during the pandemic we ended up becoming kind of closer than ever before.'

Shawn said he actually wrote Monster three years ago, but after discussing the song with Justin, he decided to get him involved, he said to The Project.

Mixed among clips of the pair shooting their individual scenes, Justin and Shawn discussed the 'emotional' nature of the tune and its coinciding visual.

'This song is really an emotionally deep rooted song. Both of us being put on a pedestal at a very, very young age and, you know, having these expectations for us to almost feel like we have to be perfect,' Bieber explained as Mendes nodded in agreement.
