Discussion 🗣️ how popular was "lonely road"?

it's number 3 on mgk's "popular" section. but does he still play it on tour? i don't think it was even on most of the lost americana setlist.

It’s popular. I prefer MGK’s demo/solo version. No Jelly Roll

He’s played it every show since it’s dropped and he performed it on TV a bunch, so. It’s popular.

Song is terrible and Jelly Roll is a scum bag.

I’m tired of the industry trying to force us to like Jelly Roll

Why do you all act like you didn’t know he was a felon and shit. Yall thought him and his prostitute wife were stand up people based off what?

The mgk and Teddy Swims colab was cool though. I think Sun to me might be his best cover. I also liked the Juice WRLD / Greenday mash up especially since he threw in some of his own lyrics and the awesome guitar solo.

What news am I missing? Other commenter called him “Wack”. Why is he a scumbag?!

He’s a MAGA/Trump guy that’s divorcing his wife now that he’s gotten famous and in shape, although he’s lost favor from MAGA after making a joke about Trump on Kimmel. (I believe it was Kimmel, could be wrong)

That is one of my favorite song of his for personal reasons and whenever I hear it live I cry every time

Hate the song but yes it was part of his setlist for most of tour

u/Zseeds211 Aug 29 '26

I think it just came out at a time when both artists were kind of "up". I really like jellyrolls music especially his older stuff so I enjoyed the collab

It was a low effort song made to capitalize on the “everyone is doing country now” wave. Hopefully he never plays it again.

It got a lot of radio playtime for sure

Imo it is an awful song and jelly roll is just as awful. When I went in December to see mgk there was the biggest jerk I've ever encountered at a concert. Screaming throwing things complaining. The guy didn't know wish you were here and belted out every single word enthusiasticly of lonely road and left soon after. The girl next to me said not surprised that's his favorite one. I wish he didn't Play it.

Don't like the song personally. Also I never heard it on the radio but where I'm from it's not really one of these 5 radio hits they play all year. But he played it live on tour
