mgk releases fan-demanded single and video “times of my life” out now

lost americana tour set to continue well into 2026

(Los Angeles, CA – January 2, 2026) Today, GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist mgk releases new single and video for “times of my life,” a sobering look back at lost love recorded with Travis Barker and the close-knit crew behind his acclaimed August album lost americana. Long demanded by fans, the pop, punk, and emo-tinged cut dates back to a rough draft composed during the sessions for mgk’s era-defining 2020 set Tickets to My Downfall. Listen and watch HERE.

Written, produced, and performed alongside Barker (who drums on the song) and other longtime mgk collaborators and friends SlimXX, BazeXX, Nick Long, and No Love For The Middle Child, “times of my life” mixes acoustic and electric guitar, cello, piano, and bass for a dynamic sound that matches mgk’s evolving mood and poignant hook: “The best times of my life, were the ones that had you.”

mgk’s ambitious lost americana tour will continue to conquer arenas and amphitheaters in North America, EU/UK, and Australia/New Zealand into July. The timing couldn’t be better, as mgk picks back up on February 15 in Bologna, Italy, and returns stateside on May 15 in Wheatland, CA, before wrapping July 1 in Ridgefield, WA. More info HERE.

In addition to performing with guests like Halsey (in Chicago), Bailey Zimmerman (in Nashville), Julia Wolf, and his own daughter at Warped Tour. That’s not the only way mgk has been celebrating his blockbuster new album lost americana — which marked his third consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. In late November, he teamed up with Jonas Brothers, for a fizzy, swoon-worthy remix of his inescapable hit “cliché.” An enduring cornerstone of lost americana, the song inspired an iconic music video directed by Sam Cahill complete with choreography by Sean Bankhead (Usher, Tate McRae), as well as he candid, piano-powered rendition, “cliché (sad version).”
