NME wrote that following the release of Thank U, Next (2019), "Monopoly" was refreshing to hear, describing the song as "flippant and fun". Vulture praised the song and music video for being a "meme-heavy bisexual bop". Grande also sings "Even though we gave up that 90%", referencing the fact that she had to give up 90% of the royalties for "7 Rings" to Rodgers and Hammerstein due to interpolating the melody of The Sound of Music 's " My Favorite Things". In response to the attention garnered by Grande for also singing the "I like women and men" line, Grande opened up about her sexuality and revealed she doesn't label herself, tweeting that " before and still feel the need to now". Monét personally believed it was important to include the line "I like women and men", along with the lyrics "Swerve both ways, Dichotomy" (a double entendre invoking the word dyke), to highlight her sexuality because of the lack of representation for bisexual black women in her industry. The song is a celebration of Grande's success, much like "7 Rings", which charted at number one on the Hot 100 for eight weeks. "Monopoly" is a trap- pop song, leading Uproxx writer Chloe Gilke to call it the "spiritual successor" to Grande's single " 7 Rings" which Monét also co-wrote. Grande said on Twitter that "Monopoly" is about "friendship, freedom, protecting your energy and staying right in your bag." Monét made a similar tweet stating that the track was about "good vibes and celebrations of life and friendship." Lyrics and composition "Monopoly" was originally slated for a Marelease but was pushed back to Apto celebrate " 7 Rings" 8th week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was recorded on February 1, 2019. Monét and Grande decided to make a song titled "Monopoly", finding it funny since Monét dislikes the board game and declines to play whenever Grande asks. Grande and Monét performed the song on some of the shows of the Sweetener World Tour. It reached the top five in Greece and Israel and the top 20 in Ireland, Japan and New Zealand. "Monopoly" was included on the Japanese deluxe edition of Grande's fifth studio album Thank U, Next (2019) as a bonus track, along with the official remix of " 7 Rings" featuring 2 Chainz. The music video, which was shot on Maat Mohegan Sun in the hours leading up to a concert scheduled that night, was released alongside the single, and was directed by Alfredo Flores and Ricky Alvarez. The song was written by Grande, Monét, Charles Anderson, Michael Foster, and producer Tim Suby. " Monopoly" is a song by American singers Ariana Grande and Victoria Monét, released on Apthrough Republic Records.
