MGK’s real name is Colson Baker. He delivered the message in a rather blunt way saying “jonas brothers vocals are in ☑️,” and he even provided a link to the track. His post instantly got the attention of his followers and the whole range of emotions from pure joy to hilarious surprise about the cross-genre partnership were expressed. This is one of the pop-centric moves for the artist whose latest works have been more of a fusion of mainstream pop, punk, and rock sounds.
There was a quick online reaction that was super positive. One user summed up the general amazement by saying, “Jonas Brothers collab was not on my MGK bingo card!” Another one went straight to the point just saying “This is everything i didn’t know i needed.” The user’s feeling was similar to many others who viewed the collaboration as a perfect albeit unexpected match.
Some comments were on the art choice with a knowing smile. One person remarked, “It’s so cliché to have the JoBros on a pop song! We see what you did there king!!” humorously acknowledging that the artist is moving up to the mainstream pop sound. Then there was another user who further unraveled the thought saying, “he’s been doing it for the past 3 album titles just calling himself out first before the haters do lol.” The user also described the artist as “choosing the path of a mainstream sellout,” suggesting that not all fans are pleased with the change of his musical direction.

Amidst the thrill of the new single, an unrelated dark topic was oddly interjected into the talk. One comment said, “so is that why the insurance ceo shooter had a barrage of female fans bc he looks like a jonas brother” and referred to a tragic recent news event. The comment was the opposite of the others and was largely ignored by the community.
The joint effort was a fantasy come true for many and the fusing together of fans was so powerful. The song was particularly important to one listener who expressed, “my favorite artist and my sister’s favorite artist 🥹 very special to me!” The call for more music was loud, and one listener pleaded, “I NEED a music video with the choreo and JB like YESTERDAY,” while another one exclaimed, “You need to do something with the Backstreet Boys next. Then my world will be complete!!”
It looks like the release is one of the key moments from MGK’s new album ‘Lost Americana.’ One of the diehard fans was quite critical of the whole project and said, “Gotta say that Lost Americana is the first new album I’ve listened to start to finish multiple times in probably 20 years.” Another individual was impressed by the versatility of the artist and said, “Only Machine Gun Kelly could release 3 different versions of the same song and have me be instantly obsessed with each of them.”
