"Psycho" is a song recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark featuring Mark Hoppus of Blink-182. The song was released on 22 June 2018 as an album pre-order track and as the third single from Shark's debut studio album Love Monster.[2]

Speaking to Beats 1's Zane Lowe Hoppus said he met Shark in Los Angeles and she asked him to work on something together to which he agreed. [3] 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.”[4]

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."[5]

Cameron Adams from Herald Sun, in an album review said the song "builds to a classy crescendo."[6]
