Machine Gun Kelly, AKA Colson Baker, pensively poses a heartfelt question to his cherished emo love interest in his latest musical offering. On May 23rd, the artist unveiled a captivating new single named "Cliché," where he gently yet insistently inquiries an unnamed former lover, "Tell me, dear, would you walk this path with me once more?" His vocals intertwine melodically through the chorus, softly serenading, "Baby, let us craft this place into our home," and he seductively croons with a hint of temptation, "Why don't you flee with me / Even if solitude might seem your better fate?"
This heartfelt tune emerges five months after news broke of his breakup with Megan Fox, amidst the whirlwind of her pregnancy and their involvement in the Transformers franchise. Despite the split, MGK and Megan joyfully welcomed their baby girl into the world in March. The rockstar, who also dotes on his 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex-partner Emma Cannon, announced the new addition to his family with a tender Instagram post featuring a video of him holding his newborn's tiny hand, captioning it, "She’s finally here!! Our little celestial seed." This sweet montage was paired with an instrumental melody that MGK, alongside his buddy Travis Barker, had specially crafted for Megan's birthing experience.
Recently, Megan, who mothers Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, opened up about her pregnancy as an "unplanned but a happy surprise." On May 21st, she penned a heartfelt message on Instagram Stories, "Women are eternal light beings. We do not have an expiration date. Don’t let them rob you of your power."
Despite being spotted together multiple times post their daughter's arrival, both have refrained from publicly discussing the status of their relationship. Why such secrecy surrounding their romance? During a March 2024 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan offered some clarity, stating, "I think what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is it’s not for public consumption. What I can say is that he is my twin soul, and there will always be an unbreakable bond between us, regardless of the circumstances." She continued, reflecting on MGK, "I can’t predict the future, but I know I will always be connected to him in some way. Beyond that, I prefer to keep my private affairs private."
