"Mono" is name of the debut single released by Courtney Love as a solo artist. Its release was overshadowed by issues Love was undergoing in her personal life, namely her drug addiction and legal problems, and was therefore considered a flop. The video received some airplay on channels such as Fuse, Kerrang! and MTV2, but did not reach the level of popularity achieved by her previous releases with Hole. The music video featured a "Sleeping Beauty" theme and was directed by Chris Milk.
