Machine Gun Kelly is not one for idling and is keeping the momentum from his No. 1 album, Tickets to My Downfall, moving right along with a brand new single, "Love Race," featuring Blink-182's Travis Barker and Sleeping With Sirens' Kellin Quinn.
In March, MGK linked up with popular YouTuber 'Corpse Husband' on the creepy, beat-intensive new track, "Daywalker," and fans can never really be certain exactly what direction the rapper turned pop-punk artist will go next.
On "Love Race," he turns back to the style heard on last year's Tickets to My Downfall." The energy on this pop-tinged rocker is jovial and contagious and Quinn's high-pitched singing works wonderfully against MGK's hoarse vocal inflection as the two sing in tandem beginning with the second verse.
This latest track arrives three days after Machine Gun Kelly announced a U.S. tour set to kick off in September and a complete list of dates can be seen further down the page, beneath the video player for "Love Race." The lyrics to the song can also be seen below.
Machine Gun Kelly, "Love Race" Lyrics
I found a silver ring
And put it on my finger
I picked up my guitar
And played it for the reaper
God was a girl
The devil wore a t-shirt
Love is a game and they
Were kissing in the bleachersI don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myselfI'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to youI got a special ring
And put it on her finger
A voice said suddenly
You're never gonna keep her
Please don't look behind us
The past is trying to catch up
Pressures from outside us
I've got claustrophobiaI don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myselfI'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to youGod was a girl
The devil wore a t-shirt
Love is a game and they
Were kissing in the bleachersGod was a girl
The devil wore a t-shirt
Love is a game and they
Were kissing in the bleachersI'm on the run
(I'm on the run, let's go)I'm on the run (To get back to you)
I'm on the run (To get back to you)
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to youI don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myselfI'm on the run (I'm on the run)
To get back to you
To get back to you
(Let's go)(Yeah)
To get back to you
(Oh, to get back, to get back)
To get back to youNo, no-no, no
No, no-no, no
No, no-no, no...
