Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll get some serious help from their significant others in the emotional video for their new single, “Lonely Road.” In the Sam Cahill-directed clip for the song that pays homage to John Denver's iconic 1971 hit “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” KellyRoll – as they've dubbed themselves – are joined by MGK's girlfriend, actress Megan Fox, and wife of Jelly. , Bunnie Xo, who both have prominent roles in the beer-ripping story.
KellyRoll stars as a pair of old friends struggling to provide for their families in the visual that opens with the duo dressed in black at a funeral before switching to shots of the pair sneaking into a car dealership in matching black overalls. “I probably could have saved us/ But instead, I let us crash/ Cause I don't trust no one to love me back,” MGK sings while strumming an acoustic guitar. “But he says I do/ And this ain't the place for you.”
As the deadlines continue to pile up, we see MGK kissing fiance Fox's bulging belly and Jelly Roll standing in a field singing about using alcohol on the road to fill the hole of loneliness she feels thousands of miles away from his house. love. “Will our home ever be the same/ I hear the devil wears Prada, but I couldn't read the labels/ And your horns started showing when I see you crazy,” he sings as he and Bunny comfort each other after receiving a confirmation letter infertility diagnosis.
The story is particularly poignant and personal for both men, as Jelly revealed last month that Bunny, 44, is undergoing IVF as they try to conceive their first child together, and in November, mother-of-three Fox spoke of the “very difficult” miscarriage. suffered with MGK.
After the two couples share a quiet meal together at home, MGK tries to set Jelly up in a scheme to make a quick buck, a road the “Save Me” country star says he can't go down anymore. After another shot of MGK kissing Fox's stomach, the rapper-turned-rocker-turned-country crooner hops on his motorcycle and pulls off a bank robbery that ends with his arrest as he kisses his love and their unborn child goodbye for last time.
Cut to eight months later and Jelly, Bunny and Fox are screaming over the baby, which MGK is kissing through the glass in the prison visiting room.
The long and winding road to the 'Lonely Road' has been taken more than two yearswith MGK recently saying the duo have been working on the track for “2 years, 8 different studios, 4 different countries, [and] I changed the key 4 times.”
