With Machine Gun Kelly's brilliant pop-punk album Tickets To My Downfall finally out in the world, this now means that his eagerly-awaited collaboration with Halsey has arrived, too.

The pair have teamed up for the fifth track on the record, Forget Me Too, which sees the rapper and electropop singer channel the energy and bounce of early ’00s pop-punk to dazzling effect. Backed by blink-182's Travis Barker on the drums, it's a total banger.

Discussing his venture into pop-punk with Kerrang!, Machine Gun Kelly explained: “I wanna start out by saying that I would like to normalise how we think about doing multiple types of music. I didn’t ‘switch genres’; I’m versatile, and the wall isn’t boxed in.

“I would like to send good energy and appreciation to people doing things that go against what is an imaginary box that someone too scared to break out of puts around you. I would like to project creativity and love, rather than limitations. Limitations cause you to look at me with my pink nails and believe that this same hand won’t punch you in the face, right? Limitations would cause you to believe that, because I’ve put out four albums that are rap, I shouldn’t put out a fifth album that’s not rap.”
