• The lead single from Take It Like A Man is about the beautiful energy generated when everyone is rocking out together at a metal show. Co-vocalist Heidi Shepherd said: "Too many times, mainstream media makes these shows out to be dangerous and evil, but what they don't know is that we are a big family who in that moment will do anything for each other. A family who rocks together, inevitably stays together. That's our Monsters Ball."
  
  Co-vocalist Carla Harvey added: "I always felt that metal music was something that brought all of us misfit kids together. With the lyrics to 'Monsters Ball', we wanted to celebrate that and really paint a picture of the moments that we spend together side by side in the mosh pit, letting the music course through our veins and move us."
• Heidi Shepherd stated about the song's music video: "The moment I spoke with director, Dan Dobi, about the ideas we had for a literal Monsters Ball, he jumped at them and began tossing even more great ideas into the melting pot."
  
  "We wanted to use the swingy feel of the song to create a jazz-type club scene," she added. "A Monsters Ball is how we describe the pit."
