    • "Love Race" is a song by American musician Machine Gun Kelly featuring fellow American musician Kellin Quinn of the band Sleeping with Sirens, released through Bad Boy and Interscope on April 29, 2021. In collaboration with frequent collaborator Travis Barker, "Love Race" was later included on the European and Japanese editions of Kelly's sixth studio album Mainstream Sellout (2022).


      Background and recording


      The song was released on April 29, 2021. The song features drumming by Travis Barker, who had previously drummed on Kelly's 2020 pop punk album Tickets to My Downfall. Barker also provided production on the track, while Jared Gutstadt and Jeff Peters of Audio Chateau helped write the song. The song also received an unexplained writing credit to Matthew Thiessen of the rock band Relient K. The song features vocals from Kellin Quinn of the rock band Sleeping with Sirens. The song was the third collaboration between Kelly and Quinn, the prior being a remix of Rise Against's single "Swing Life Away". Kelly noted that he improvised his lyrics for the song and had his parts done in five minutes.


      Themes and composition


      Publications generally described the song as pop punk and similar in nature to the material found in Kelly's Tickets to My Downfall (2020) album. Guitar World described the song as having a "syncopated, reverb-heavy guitar line" in the song's verses that eventually builds into chorus of powerchord guitars and vocal hooks. The song features alternating lower pitched hoarse vocals by Kelly, and higher pitched vocals by Quinn, with the song's second half containing segments of them singing concurrently.


      Reception


      Both Billboard and Guitar World publications highlighted the song as a standout single release in its release week. Exclaim! noted that Baker's voice was less grating next to Quinn's voice, but noted that "the whole thing goes down surprisingly smooth".
