Leading up to the release, MGK teased the track's arrival with a pre-save link on his official website, hinting at an upcoming video showcases MGK in a carefree, nostalgic mood, brought to life by choreographer Sean Bankhead, known for his work with Usher and Tate McRae. The dance routines echo the classic style of the late '90s and early 2000s—slick, sentimental, and perfectly in step with the track's the run-up to the release, MGK dropped a series of cover performances, including the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris,' Juice WRLD's 'Empty Out Your Pockets,' and Green Day's 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams.' He's also set to headline this year's 30th Anniversary Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC, and Orlando, recent accolades include two Billboard 200 chart-toppers: Tickets to My Downfall (2020), which went platinum and spawned 18 charting singles on Hot Rock Songs, and Mainstream Sellout, which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. His hits 'Bloody Valentine' and 'My Ex's Best Friend' both reached No. 1 on alternative and critics alike took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on the new release:"Dude this scene gave me chills! So beautifully choreographed, nostalgic, and just so fitting with the lyrics. Props to MGK, the dancer, the choreographers, and Sam for directing & capturing this perfectly," wrote one user added: "This video is perfectly fitting for the title because what's more cliché than a choreographed scene in the RAIN?!"Not everyone was impressed, however. One critic wrote: "RIP this is what's left of MGK after Eminem destroyed his rap career."And another bluntly commented: "Is there any genre that MGK's voice actually sounds good in? Every song I've heard, he sounds horrible."

Marina Serves Transformative Looks in Her 'Butterfly' Music Video
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Marina Diamandis has evolved from her chrysalis to spread her wings toward another bright and brilliant pop record. Her latest single, 'BUTTERFLY,' introduces a new era and marks her first musical release since 2022. It also comes hot off the release of her literary debut, Eat The World: A Collection of Poems, which dropped last October. Known for her quick-witted lyrical prowess, the artist—who simply goes by the mononym MARINA these days—is back with another alt-pop gem that sees her inching toward greater heights. She's leaving anything that no longer serves her behind as she muses, 'To become a butterfly / Parts of me had to die / Spread my wings in the golden light / and I fly.' Along with the track came an Aerin Moreno-directed music video featuring several ultra-glamorous looks—including one with a bedazzled butterfly perched upon MARINA's signature dark hair. As it starts to take over our social feeds, the visual also premiered on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop, and on Paramount's billboards in New York's Times Square. 'My next record is very playful and has a character-led concept, but not in the same way as Electra Heart,' MARINA told Plastik magazine in January. 'I found it weighty to have to commit to character for 2 years, and that's not where I'm at now. This next era is very fun. It has a special energy.' As new music is on the horizon, MARINA's also headed on a festival circuit this year with appearances at Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Osheaga. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be marveling at all of her stunning looks in the 'BUTTERFLY' music video and memorizing the song's lyrics 'til further notice: You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try
