In a full-circle moment five years in the making, MGK reopens the vault on the era that redefined his career. The multi-platinum artist kicks off the Tickets To My Downfall (All Access) celebration with the explosive new track no cell phones in rehab. The new single and video channels that same vulnerable volatility, blending confessional lyrics with thrashing guitars and Barker’s signature production aggression. This is the first of several unreleased songs that dropped daily this week. Executive produced by Travis Barker, the upcoming anniversary edition revisits the album that catalyzed MGK’s seismic shift into pop-punk stardom. MGK refects on the era:
This album changed my life. These songs were part of that moment, and it’s time for fans to hear the full story.
Tickets To My Downfall, originally released in 2020, was a cultural reset—debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and ushering in a generation’s return to guitar-driven angst. With chart-toppers like bloody valentine and my ex’s best friend, the album delivered 18 Hot Rock Songs entries and cemented MGK as a modern rock heavyweight. As he launches into his largest global tour to date, this album is a reminder of where it all began. MGK is not just celebrating a milestone, he’s reigniting the movement he helped build.
