Machine Gun Kelly delivers a poignant message to a mysterious lover in his latest track, “Cliché,” released Friday, May 23.
Though he doesn’t name anyone directly, the lyrics brim with emotion and longing. At 35, MGK croons in the chorus, “Tell me, would you stay with me? Baby, we could make this home.” The heartfelt refrain continues, “You should run away with me, even if you’re better off alone,” hinting at a yearning for connection and stability.
This new release comes five months after his split from Megan Fox, and just two months following the birth of their baby daughter. MGK and Fox, 39, met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass back in 2020, embarking on a whirlwind romance filled with intense highs and turbulent lows. After several breakups and reconciliations, they quietly separated in November 2024 during Fox’s pregnancy. News of the split was confirmed the following month.

According to a source close to the couple, “Their relationship is so full of passion—it brings them back together time and time again, but also fuels explosive arguments.” MGK’s sobriety helped ease the fighting, but long-term stability remained out of reach.
In March, MGK shared the joyous news of their daughter’s birth on Instagram, writing, “She’s finally here!!” He lovingly referred to her as “our little celestial seed,” though later clarified that was not her actual name after fans speculated.
Despite co-parenting their newborn, Fox and MGK are, as of now, “absolutely not getting back together,” another insider told Us Weekly. Fox had revealed her pregnancy in a touching Instagram post in November 2024, months after experiencing a miscarriage. “Nothing is ever really lost. Welcome back 👼🏼❤️,” she wrote, tagging MGK and sharing a photo of her holding her baby bump beside a positive test.
Fox is also mom to three sons—Noah (12), Bodhi (11), and Journey (8)—with her former husband, Brian Austin Green. MGK shares his 15-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon.
