MGK, also known as Colson Baker, teamed up with country artist Jelly Roll for their new single ‘Lonely Road’, which hit streaming services on Friday (July 26).
The genre-blending duo’s track interpolates Denver’s 1971 tune ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads,’ and is about their respective struggles with self-destruction.
The song was accompanied by a music video that features both artists’ significant others, Megan Fox and Bunnie Xo.
The cinematic visuals begin with the musicians draped in black suits, attending a funeral for an unknown character.
It then shows them playing the roles of mechanics living from paycheck to paycheck. At one point, Kelly returns home to a pregnant Fox, before finding a “Final Notice” letter on the counter.
As the duo fails to run the auto shop, MGK decides to rob a bank to support his wife financially but is then arrested. Although he goes down for his crimes, he manages to hide the money safely, allowing his partner to solve their problems.
Another part of the video shows Jelly Roll, whose full name is Jason Bradley DeFord, laying a kiss on his wife after she receives a letter confirming her infertility, something that might be inspired by how the couple are currently undergoing IVF, per Holler Country.
The music video then fast-forwards to eight months later, with Kelly meeting his baby while he’s in prison.

The music video has raised questions with many asking whether the 38-year-old Jennifer’s Body star is actually pregnant.
“WAS THIS A PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT OR NOT,” one fan exclaimed while another said: “We need to know, WHAT IS GOING ON !? Are you having a baby !?”
“I have the chills! If Megan is pregnant I am so over the moon happy for them!” a third added.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that one of the credits at the end of the video reads “Introducing: Baby Violet Leika,” speculating that that might be an announcement of its own, but the mom of the baby featured in the video has come out to clear speculations.
One fan said: “The baby is an actor, her name is Violet and her grandmother was on here talking about they used her for the role as their baby in the video,” and the mom added: “My daughter Violet haha they spelled her last name wrong, it’s Cejka.”
As far as we know, Megan has not confirmed whether she’s pregnant and it is likely to be part of the character for the ‘Place Beyond The Pines’-inspired music video.
The Transformers actress did previously open up about her battles in her book of poetry, Pretty Boys are Poisonous, revealing that she suffered a miscarriage with the 34-year-old ‘Home’ artist.
In an intimate interview with Good Morning America, Fox said the heartwrenching event significantly shaped their journey together.
“I’d never been through anything like that in my life. I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately … trying to navigate What does this mean? and Why did this happen?” she said.
Fox is a mom to sons Noah Shannon Green, Bodhi Ransom Green, and Journey River Green, from her marriage to actor Brian Austin Green.
Kelly is a father to daughter Casie Colson Baker, 15, from a past relationship with a woman who remains out of the limelight.
