The new album was preceded by the singles cliché, vampire diaries, and miss sunshine, with blink-182 drummer Travis Barker performing on vampire diaries.
It wasn’t the first time mgk performed with someone in rock circles. In 2022, he recorded the song Maybe with Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes, which the pair re-created live for the first time at the 2023 Rock Im Park festival in Germany.
Reviewing mgk’s 2018 show at Perth’s Metro City, The Music’s Joseph Wilson declared, “Rocking pink camo pants and a matching jacket, Baker tore straight into a fiery rap, while firing finger guns.
“It was easy to get caught up in Baker's rockstar antics, whether swilling spirits, lighting a massive blunt (probably tobacco) or smashing a bottle on stage (wasting a good beer), but the true heart of the show lay in the poignant, emotional moments.”
