It felt like a classic one-off novelty hit — that is, until you heard the rest of her second album “Back to Black” in full.

Sepulveda, a Florida International University student who was 19 at the time, was admitted to the hospital, and was surprised by the cause of her symptoms: the Monster energy drink she had just a few hours earlier.
“I was drinking Monster every day for the past year, “ she said.
