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.)

Truth
Mona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the mountain stars turn up to
And the chase at dusk leave you in the dust
Private parted them for the wall
And the city folk with their '
Picket fences and cups of tea
That revolving door, handshake with a cure
All is dead and I can barely breathe
All I wanted was truth
But all I got was you
Hanging on for two
I'm hanging on, what to do?
And you go dealing unaware 'cause you know
You're so much more than scared
Romance in the air, don't care what it cost
Wearing crowns but I just locked thieves
Got fashion and sex, give is what you get
Fake the interview magazine
I got nothing now, I got nothing now
I got nothing now and I'm fine
Looking awesome since, turn it on a dime
She's so beautiful, I'm deaf, dumb and blind
All I wanted was truth
But all I got was you
I'm hanging on for two
I'm hanging on, what to do?
And you go dealing unaware 'cause you know
You're so much more than scared
I got nothing now, I got nothing now
I got nothing now and it's fine
All the city folk with their '
Looking face to face, you move by
In the first verse of the song “Truth” by Mona, the singer discusses feeling suffocated by the monotony of everyday life, represented by the 9 to 5 work schedule. The beauty of nature, represented by the “mountain stars,” is juxtaposed with the mundane routine of urban living, represented by “city folk with their picket fences and cups of tea.” The revolving door and the “handshake with a cure” suggest the superficiality and phoniness of urban society. The singer wants truth, but all they got was the person they’re holding onto, and they’re not sure what to do. The second verse talks about how society values appearances over substance, with “fashion and sex” giving you what you give in return. They express a sense of emptiness and not having anything, but it’s okay. The final line is about the singer and another person looking face-to-face and moving by each other, which could suggest a missed connection or lack of real connection in the current moment.
