There are a number of artists called Mona.
1. Mona are an indie rock band originally from Dayton, Ohio, now located in Nashville, Tennessee.
They play romantic rock n' roll songs for the 'city folk'. Their single ‘Listen to Your Love’ was recorded in their basement and was released on their own Zion Noiz recordings which came out in the United Kingdom on September 13th 2010. The band comprise of Nick Brown (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Vince Gard (drums), Zach Lindsey (bass), Jordan Young (guitar). According to Songfacts, they are named after Brown’s grandmother.
The band have been so keen to keep their debut material under wraps that rather than sending it out to journalists to review, they played it down the phone to them (Source: The Guardian - New Band of the Day, 29th July 2010).

2. Monalisa "Mona" Lengkong is an Indonesian singer and rose her fame as finalist on Indonesian Idol Season 6.
3. Mona were an indie rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah.
In Fall 2002, two musicians made a pact. To create music they loved without worrying about what anyone else thought. Hyrum Summerhays and Chad Dorton established Mona after a split with their band Elsewhere left them craving.
The two wanted to play music with simple melodies and moody lyrics reminiscent of Low, Red House Painters and Belle and Sebastian. Six months searching for the right singer turned-up Mandy Jeppsen, formerly of Gerald Music, and the concept was realized. Like a quiet moment listening through headphones, Mona's luscious unpretentiousness draws the ear inward, beckoning an audience to relax and just listen.
4. Mona is a pop-rock band originating from Helsinki, Finland.
They haven't signed a record-deal yet, but their song Virta has gotten loads of airtime in radio. Mona consists of singer Maija, guitarist Anssi, keyboardist Sami, basist Visu and drummer Tuomas. They were voted to Tulevaisuuden tusina 2011-list (a list in which Finland's most valued music-editors vote artists they think will make a break through in 2011.)

Like You Do
Mona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know now it's easy to miss
When love comes and it leaves so fast you
Leave it alone even for a while
You'll soon see a face without a smile
Saying I can't go on living like you
Do do do do do do do
Everything we did before
I just wanna say now
I wanted more and more
Yesterday close its eyes
I could never say goodbye
Like you do, like you do
Just going through my mind
Trying to remember
Back a long time
Before the September
Why can't you just fall in
Love with a friend
I see the hand that you're holding
Everything I'm not so now
You're knowing
I can't go on living like you
Do do do do do do do
Now I don't wanna talk about
Everything we did before
I just wanna say now
I wanted more and more
Yesterday close its eyes
I could never say goodbye
Like you do, like you do
We're on a war
So far from home
Keep holding on
It's always changing
And come my way
Leave unafraid
Until they say it's always changing
I can't go on living like you
Do do do do do do do
The lyrics of "Like You Do" by Mona describe a relationship that has ended in heartbreak. The singer feels like nobody is listening to their pain as they struggle to move on from the past. The verse "Everybody talks and nobody listens, don't you know now it's easy to miss when love comes and it leaves so fast" highlights the fleeting nature of love and how it can easily slip away. The singer is left feeling alone and unable to forget the pain and memories of the past relationship.
Furthermore, the chorus emphasizes the singer's feelings of wanting more from the relationship than what they received: "Now I don't wanna talk about everything we did before, I just wanna say now I wanted more and more, yesterday closed its eyes I could never say goodbye, like you do, like you do." The singer is struggling to move on and is envious of their ex-partner's ability to let go and move on.
The bridge of the song adds another dimension, describing a war far from home, where the singer is trying to hold on and not be afraid. This could be interpreted metaphorically as trying to hold on to the hope of reconciliation in the relationship, or it could represent a literal battle that puts the relationship into perspective.

Just got introduced to the band's music at House of Blues, Houston Texas last week and now a fan. Bought the CD, this is one of the songs that I play over and over and over in the car. I don't understand too well why they arn't recognized on a higher level.

Dan Raridan
Great song. Buy the entire record. Take it with you. Somewhere far away where there is no cell service, no wifi. Listen to it beneath the night stars. If you can't buy it, make a comment, at least. A song is like a tree falling in the woods...
Rancho La Abundancia
Live it!!!
