Speaking to Beats 1's Zane, Lowe Hoppus{{Clarify|reason=Who is Lowe Hoppus? Is he Mark Hoppus, or someone different?|date=April 2022}} said he met Shark in Los Angeles and she asked him to work on something together, to which he agreed.{{cite web|url=http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/hear-blink-182-mark-hoppus-amy-shark-new-song-psycho/#iPOT97Ws0vt3UUHO.99|title= Hear Blink-182's Mark Hoppus Feature On Amy Shark's New Song 'Psycho'|date=21 June 2018|accessdate=24 July 2018}} Hoppus said “Amy had this great idea for a song and for me it was a lot easier than working with a lot of other artist because her music is so sparse. A lot of times it's just her and a guitar, so even just her an acoustic guitar and maybe a beat behind it. My job was really easy, I just had to not over add stuff to kill the idea that she already had.”{{cite web|url=https://mushroom.com/newmusic/amy-shark-psycho-feat-mark-hoppus/|title= AMY SHARK – 'PSYCHO' (FEAT.

Reception

Madelyn Tait from The Music Au, in an album review, called the song the album highlight, saying "The stripped-back, mostly acoustic duet is sweet and has a slight pop-punk feel, and their voices nicely complement each other as they sing about love over fingerpicked, intertwining guitars and crashing drums."{{cite web|url=http://themusic.com.au/music/albumreviews/2018/07/12/amy-shark-love-monster-madelyn-tait/|title= Amy Shark - Love Monster|publisher=The Music AU|date=12 July 2018 |accessdate=24 July 2018}}

Cameron Adams from Herald Sun, in an album review, said the song "builds to a classy crescendo."{{cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/lifestyle/melbourne/its-shark-week-amy-drops-four-star-debut-album-love-monster/news-story/6f14b16f6828f09310dae0ff23952ed2|title= It's Shark week: Amy drops four star debut album Love Monster|publisher=Herald Sun|date=11 July 2018 |accessdate=12 July 2018}}
