The release launches with an electrifying music video and custom one-of-a-kind dolls tailored to each member’s monster personas
Mattel, Inc. has unveiled that Monster High and global girl group Katseye have teamed up to debut a musical collaboration: a reimagined version of the brand’s iconic anthem, “Fright Song,” now available on all major streaming and digital download platforms. Alongside the “Fright Song,” a high-energy music video, brings the next generation of fans into a stylishly spooky world of celebrating belonging and what makes you unique.
“Katseye embodies our core values of Monster High – bold creativity, fearless self-expression, and a commitment to lifting up others,” states Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls, Mattel. “Katseye grew up as a fan of the brand. We’re thrilled that this collaboration brings our iconic Monster High anthem to life in a whole new way, while continuing our mission to create a world where everyone is proud to be their authentic self.”
Originally released in 2010, “Fright Song” remains the No. 1 track in the Monster High brand’s history, with more than 87.9 million global audio streams to date. Now, Katseye’s version injects fresh vocals, updated song lyrics, and an empowering tempo that celebrates individuality — a core tenet of Monster High and the breakout group.
Known for their breakout EP Beautiful Chaos, which charted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and hit singles “Gnarly” and “Gabriela,” Katseye continues their rise with the new “Fright Song” music video. The group, first introduced to fans through the Netflix original series Pop Star Academy, transforms into custom-created monsters inspired by each member’s heritage and personal strength. From a shapeshifting Rakshasa to a mystical sea creature, the video blends cinematic visuals, advanced lighting effects, and dynamic choreography to bring the monsters to life in a stylishly spine-tingling, monsterfied school-day dreamscape.
“Monster High has always stood for celebrating what makes you unique and using your voice to remind every ghoul that they belong, which is exactly what we try to do through our music,” states Katseye. “Having grown up fans of Monster High dolls and content, recreating “Fright Song” and designing our very own monster identities has been such a dream. We hope the Eyekons feel the love and energy we poured into this project.”
To mark the collaboration, Monster High and Katseye designed custom one-of-a-kind dolls inspired by each Katseye member. These exclusive dolls fuse each girl’s signature style with her unique monster alter ego. Though the dolls are not for sale, they serve as a tribute to the creative process behind the collaboration.
