“Bloody Valentine” sees MGK hoping for something real with a lover, taking a noticeable departure from the wary attitude he possessed about betrayal on 2019’s Hotel Diablo. He announced the song via Twitter on April 27th, 2020, calling it the “first single” from Tickets To My Downfall.

The music video for the single was released on May 20th starring American actress Megan Fox and amassed over twenty million views within its first month. Machine Gun Kelly would also go on to appear to confirm a relationship with Fox roughly a month after the video’s release.

The song debuted atop the Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart as well as charting at #7 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, #79 on the UK Singles chart, and #81 on the Canadian Hot 100, as of June 18th, 2020.

The song is also featured in the game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remake.
