At this point, you know what you’re getting from Machine Gun Kelly’s new music — a healthy dose of respectable pop-punk, a genre that he seems intent on singlehandedly bringing back into prominence. It doesn’t hurt that he’s got a veteran in his corner, the legendary Travis Barker, who held it down on the drums for both Blink 182 and the later +44. Now, on the heels of dropping off “Concert For Aliens” a few days ago, MGK is here to spin a yarn of heartbreak and angsty admiration on “My Ex’s Best Friend,” assisted by Blackbear.
If you’re not on board for MGK’s departure from hip-hop, which many foresaw happening for a minute now, you’ll likely hit-skip within the opening moments of “My Ex’s Best Friend.” For those who decide to stay, you’ll be treated to a tale of forbidden passion, the likes of which have fueled pop-punk balladry for years. “Now we’re in the backseat of the black car, goin’ home,” reflects Kelly. “When she asked me, “Is it wrong if I come up with you?”
Machine Gun Kelly – My Ex’s Best Friend (ft. Blackbear) (prod. SlimXX, BazeXX & Travis Barker)
Lyric Video
[Intro: Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear]
Ayy
You know my ex, so that makes it all feel complicated, yeah
(It all seems complicated)
I read those texts that you sent to yours, but I’ll never say it, yeah
(I’ll never say—)
[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
You walked in my life at 2 AM
‘Cause my boy’s new girl is your best friend
Act like you don’t see me, we’ll play pretend
Your eyes already told me what you never said
Now we’re in the backseat of the black car, goin’ home
When she asked me, “Is it wrong if I come up with you?”
We’re both drunk on the elevator
When I kissed you for the first time in New York City, uh
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear]
I swear to God, I never fall in love
Then you showed up and I can’t get enough of it
I swear to God, I never fall in love
I never fall in love, but I can’t get enough of it (Yeah)
[Verse 2: blackbear]
First off, I’m not sorry, I won’t apologize to nobody
You play like I’m invisible, girl, don’t act like you ain’t saw me
Last year was a mess and how I acted was beyond me
But the past still revolves me, you text me, I ain’t responding
But now shit’s done changed, go our separate ways
But look at this damage you did to me
I still want nothing to do between you and me
Please don’t say nothin’, it all sounds so true to me
We don’t got nothin’ to say, hey!
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear]
I swear to God, I never fall in love
Then you showed up and I can’t get enough of it
I swear to God, I never fall in love
I never fall in love, but I can’t get enough of it (Yeah)
I swear to God (I swear to God), I never fall in love
Then you showed up and I can’t get enough of it (I can’t get enough of you)
I swear to God (I swear to God), I never fall in love (In love)
I never fall in love, but I can’t get enough of it (I can’t get enough of it; Yeah)
[Outro: Machine Gun Kelly & blackbear]
You know my ex, so that makes it all feel complicated, yeah
(It all seems complicated)
I read those texts that you sent to yours, but I’ll never say it, yeah
(I’ll never say—)
