Background
In January 2019, the glitchy-pop song "Voicemail" was released as the lead single from Choke. Its music video served as a follow-up to Poppy's 2018 music video "X". During an interview with Interview Magazine regarding "Voicemail", she announced that her next single would be "Scary Mask".[3] In April, she began posting teasers for the song.[4] During an interview with Billboard Music Awards, she announced the song's official release date.[5]
The song was written after "X" while Poppy was trying to expand on the idea of making more metal music.[6] She came up with the song's idea when she attended the American Music Awards wearing a black latex mask.[6][7]
In June 2020, the song was featured as a lip sync battle in The Drag Ball 3 episode titled “Scary Mask”, where the contestants had to create their own scary masks.
