It was produced by Niclas Molinder and Joacim Persson, who also co-wrote the song Johan rodhecita Alkenäs, and Charlie Mason, for the soundtrack, A.N.T.

Musically, the song is prominent dance-pop and electropop that runs through a club oriented beat, and the lyrics are Halloween-themed, speaking of dancing with monsters.

The song was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with the majority of them praising its playful nature and dance oriented sound.

It was first heard on the series's first-season Halloween-themed episode, "mutANT farm", which premiered on October 7, 2011 in North America, more than two weeks after the single's release.

After learning of the rule against mutants attending the Halloween dance, which they helped set up, Chyna Parks (McClain), fantasized as a Medusa, concocts a potion that changes the A.N.T.s into human form.

Parks later gets up on the stage and performs the song as everyone in the audience is dancing, with the newly transformed A.N.T.s reversed backed to their ghoulish form.

Gabby Duran & the Unsittables star Kylie Cantrall performed the song on the Halloween-themed episode "You Decide LIVE!"

"Calling All the Monsters" is an upbeat, contagious club beat that will have you and your kids ready to kick it on the dance floor on Halloween night.

"[6] "Calling All the Monsters" debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 100, moving 25,000 digital downloads during the week ending October 9, 2011.
