Colson Baker, aka Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), dropped his latest single, Cliche, on May 23, 2025. The song's release came five months after his breakup with Megan Fox.
The music video for Cliche directed by Sam Cahill and produced in collaboration with SlimXX, BazeXX, and Nick Long, is Machine Gun Kelly's first time incorporating choreography in his music video. The routines are choreographed by Sean Bankhead, known for his work with industry big names including Usher and Tate McRae.
The song's lyrics include MGK asking an unnamed ex, "Would you stay with me?", while the chorus also seems to be about his past relationship with Megan Fox.

X (formerly Twitter) user @FearBuck posted a clip from the Cliche music video, calling Machine Gun Kelly's new single the "song of the summer."
The song has received mixed reactions from audiences. While some fans are excited about the new track, others are not. One X user replied to the original post, commenting on Machine Gun Kelly's "downfall."
"The downfall of this man music needs to be studied he went from one of the coldest white boy rappers to literally just an everywhere pop rock wanna be artists"
Some people also took the opportunity to express their dislike of MGK's style of music in the comments. One remarked that the "promo" was paid for.
"How much is he paying you for this sh*tty promo", one X user commented.
"This song is awful. I really wish he would get back to his roots. Tickets To My Downfall was his last good record / songs. He will be back. Prayers," another X user said.
"only MGK could get broken up with and make BAD music after it", an X user replied to the post.
However, many fans showed their support for the new single and defended Machine Gun Kelly.
"Nah this really Mans is really a versatile artist. Idk too many people who can do anything much outside of their form of genre. All jokes aside, name some artists right now That can switch from rap - r&b- country - rock - pop (that’s what mgk did) and have the success that he did," one X user opined.
"Anyone saying negative stuff about this is just a hater at this point," another added.
"I don't care MGK makes better pop rock than he does Hip Hop," wrote a user.
