Riley stated about the single :
“MONCLER is, at its core, a song about the healing journey after a toxic break up. It’s about the person I became when I pulled myself up from the chaos of a failed relationship and put in the work it took to become a better version of myself. This is my healing anthem about how much better life has become and how hard I’ve worked for the success I have achieved and will continue to achieve throughout my career.”
While talking about the MONCLER new video he stated:
“When I was making the video for ‘MONCLER’ I just wanted to have fun. My last few videos had been either heavy on a storyline or using big, in your face pastel palettes and I wanted to do something this time that went back to the simplicity of everything that I cherish deeper now. It’s just me, my daughter, and my music on a beautiful Southern California day.”
