Rising German DJ and producer Christian F J Büttner, better known as TheFatRat, returns with a new release, ''Monkeys. "Naturally, the song was entirely written and produced by TheFatRat himself. It is TheFatRat's production style that makes the concept more powerful. At its core, ''Monkeys'' investigates the idea that no one escapes human nature. Contemplating the contradiction of how people who see the world as mad or stupid are themselves just stuck in the cyclical nature of impulse and feelings. Whereas most people might roll their eyes at the idea, TheFatRat makes this dark subject somewhat relatable and ultimately freeing.
''Monkey''s differentiates itself with its blend of intelligent study and catchy musicality. Featuring colorful imagery regarding that "monkey brain," the song conveys an overall intelligent but lighthearted tone as it illustrates the fight between logic and instinct. Rather than simply a lecture, this is essentially a mirror held up to the modern way of life, showing how easy it is for people to get in their own way when they know exactly what they have to do.
This means that the lyrics can land softly there without being too heavy, because the track itself feels spirited, energetic, and progressive. The song's energy reflects the restless nature of our minds, being carried throughout with a sense of movement. TheFatRat does it again with ''Monkeys'', this time mixing impactful ideas with a special electronic jam. On the surface, it is a fun release, but beneath it, it calls on listeners to deeply examine the motivations behind their daily decisions.
