Mainstream Sellout, Machine Gun Kelly's sixth studio album, gave up its fifth single on April 26, 2022: "Make Up Sex", with Blackbear riding shotgun. Travis Barker and Omer Fedi produced it, and the two stars wrote it with them and Nick Long, landing on glossy, radio-ready pop rock.
Critics split on it. The Guardian heard the album's best chorus, even if the words didn't live up to it, and Wall of Sound called it the most mature song he had made; another reviewer found it hilariously sexless and fun anyway. NME found it a long way from the tender, humanizing moments of Tickets to My Downfall, and Pitchfork judged it hollower than "My Ex's Best Friend". The video followed a few days after the album, with Blackbear dancing through his verse amid a crowd of bright silver balloons.
