Composition and lyrics

"Mona Lisa" starts with Fike singing softly over acoustic guitar before the instrumental picks up and he gets into a soft rhythm as he sings: "Love is when you try to place it out your mind, but you can't turn a radio down, and you can't think of anyone else, and love is when you try to make it out alive, but you can't turn the radio down, and you can't think of anyone else," showing that it has romantic undertones. Afterwards, he launches into a faster performance, comparing the song's subject to the Mona Lisa and saying that he hears them everywhere. The chorus begins with him starting to rap faster, slowing down eventually and eventually slipping into the post-chorus. Then, he goes back to the pace of Verse 1, talking about how the songs subject was told not to date musicians and how he knows that the subject doesn't follow the rules. Then, the chorus begins again, followed by the first lyrics of the song ("Love is when you try to place it out your mind, but you can't turn a radio down, and you can't think of anyone else, and love is when you try to make it out alive, but you can't turn the radio down, and you can't think of anyone else"). Then, he repeats the post-chorus, and the song ends after a short instrumental.
