Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll have collaborated on a new single titled "Lonely Road," released on July 26. The track, which has been in the works for two years, incorporates elements from John Denver's 1971 classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads." The song was recorded in eight different studios across four countries and underwent multiple key changes during its development. This release follows MGK's cover of Zach Bryan's "Sun To Me" in June and precedes Jelly Roll's upcoming North American tour, set to begin later this summer.
The music video for "Lonely Road," directed by Sam Cahill, features appearances by MGK's partner Megan Fox and Jelly Roll's wife Bunnie XO, portraying car mechanics facing financial struggles. The video premiered across several platforms including MTV Live and CMT. The collaboration was first hinted at during their performance at CMA Fest in June, where they performed duets of Jelly Roll's "Need A Favor" and MGK's "My Ex’s Best Friend."
In related news, the music video has sparked speculation about Megan Fox's pregnancy due to scenes depicting her with a baby bump. While the narrative of the video is fictional, it has led to discussions online about whether Fox is pregnant in real life or wearing a prosthetic for the role. Neither Fox nor MGK have commented on these rumors. The video has garnered significant attention, amassing over 2 million views on YouTube.
