Machine Gun Kelly called in Willow for "Emo Girl", a sugar-rush pop-punk single released on February 4, 2022, the second from his sixth album, Mainstream Sellout, after "Papercuts". It went through a few names on the way. Kelly had talked up a collaboration with Willow Smith back in 2021, when the song was still "Emo Prom"; his January 30 TikTok teaser billed it as "Cherry Red Lipstick" and had pulled in 24 million views by release day. The final title landed just as he announced that the album was no longer called Born with Horns.
Travis Barker produced it, drums on it and shares the writing credit, and he had history with both singers, having worked on Kelly's 2020 album Tickets to My Downfall and on Willow's 2021 record Lately I Feel Everything.
