​my ex’s best friend

​mgk & blackbear

For the third single off Tickets To My Downfall, Kelly enlists the support of rapper blackbear as they both sing, as the title states, about hooking up with his ex’s best friend.

The song sees MGK questioning if it’s okay to get it on with this girl but being too drunk to worry about it. Musically, the song features live guitars and live drums (a staple of pop-punk) from Travis Barker while incorporating classic hip-hop sounds like autotune and fast programmed high hats.

This isn’t ​blackbear’s first venture into pop-punk. In early 2020 he was featured in All Time Low’s single “Monsters”.
