Oh I hate that single art. Guess MGK is just an alternative artist now? I uh like everything he's made in this pop punk style enough i guess, more than his rap material, though Why Are You Here was a little eugh lyrically. He doesn't have the best suited voice for this style is the thing, but the alt chart is so starved for edgy pop punk that I'll take what I can get. This one is pretty decent, very nice instrumentally especially, but the problems I have with his other singles are still present. I am interested to see what he comes out with in the future

It’s decent enough. I’d say it’s better than the last two singles, but I agree with everyone saying his voice doesn’t fit this genre.

Okay, how weird is it that MGK actually has a superb understanding of what pop-punk instrumentals should sound like? The flow and melody in this song, as well as the structure, are all sublime.
His voice and lyrics hold this back just like "why are you here", but they're both better here. It's like MGK is learning on the fly.
I'll have to give him a download for this one. Even with its flaws, I love the way this sounds. And I never thought I would say that about MGK.

This guy's vocals ruin an otherwise really good sounding song. Its even worse viewed on youtube where the guy's eyeballs look like they bulging out. I need to stress that I really like the song's melody, but there is no way in the world I'll chart vocals these ear grating.

I'm assuming that the title of the song and the pink tinted single art are supposed to be a reference to My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless"?
MGK is the last artist I would expect to reference them though.

His vocals hold this one back a bit, but this is the most I've liked a song of his. This is decent.

This is a pretty good song. Machine Gun Kelly doing full pop punk is a lot more enjoyable than his rap stuff. Hope to see this in active as well.
Also nice to see Megan Fox looking great!

Feels like the music video could turn this into a big hit, at least it feels that way. I imagine the streaming numbers will get a huge boost.

I'm a pretty big MGK fan already, but this is really fucking good. The music video is, too. Pretty big 'get' for him to have Megan Fox as the lead actress in it and the concept is very fun and well-shot. Loving this a lot rn and 100% here for it being a hit. I love his rap material from years past, but I'm lowkey kinda loving this alt pop punk style that he's been leaning into lately. He's a really versatile artist.

This strikes to me as a weaker version of "She is Beautiful" by Andrew W.K., specifically the hook. That being said, lyrics aside, it's probably the best thing I've heard from him.

I heard this on the radio sometime last week not knowing what it was and couldn't believe that it was MGK. I've heard some of his rock-related songs before and mostly thought they were horrible. However, I can completely get behind this one. It's catchy generic old school pop-punk.

Thought this was blink-182.

Megan Fox looks fine here. The instruments give me some Blink 182 vibes.
But trying to watch MGK sing makes me think that he peaked with his performance as a rapper in Beyond the Lights.
The House does not approve.

Top 40 on Alternative:
44 40 MACHINE GUN KELLY Bloody Valentine 329 253 76 1.421
And just like that, Green Day misses out on 20 weeks on MB Alt AGAIN!!! (I think they will get there on Billboard, though)
To add on to my post above, unlike his past releases (maybe with the exception of Why Are You Here which was listenable), I won't mind this being a hit.

Nice to see this moving up! Don't follow the alt charts really but it looks like it is doing pretty well.

Damn that's Megan (Brian Austin Green is one lucky MF) Fox in the music video. I hadn't seen that. If I concentrate on MEgan this song suddenly sounds pretty good.

This has already outpeaked "why are you here". I think we're looking at a top 20, perhaps even a top 10, for MGK here.

I feel like this could be even bigger than that, maybe even top 5 or #1. IIRC this was doing decently elsewhere. Honestly I wouldn’t mind this being a decently sized hit.

Huh this is actually not a terrible MGK song, it's rather solid Did he abandon rapping or something, someone say yes, he was never a good rapper

as others have said, this is actually pretty solid, although the lyrics and his voice are pretty bad. has this been sent to active at all? honestly i'm (pleasantly) surprised that alt is charting this over them
