Featuring Kellin Quinn
“Love Race” by Machine Gun Kelly featuring Kellin Quinn appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2021. Its best result is #59 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2021. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #301 alternative song of 2021.
"Love Race" dropped on April 29, 2021, through Bad Boy and Interscope, pairing Machine Gun Kelly with Sleeping with Sirens' Kellin Quinn. It was their third time working together; an earlier team-up was a remix of Rise Against's "Swing Life Away". Travis Barker, the drummer on Kelly's 2020 pop-punk record Tickets to My Downfall, plays drums here too and produced the track, and Jared Gutstadt and Jeff Peters of Audio Chateau helped write it. Relient K's Matthew Thiessen also turns up in the writing credits, without explanation.
Kelly said he improvised his lyrics and had his parts finished in five minutes, which fits the genre's quick-and-dirty spirit. Its eventual album home was the European and Japanese pressings of Mainstream Sellout, his sixth album, in 2022.
