Machine Gun Kelly released his fifth album, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020; it marked a complete departure from hip hop and entry into pop punk. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the only rock album to do so that year, and contained the single "My Ex's Best Friend" (with blackbear), which reached number 20 on the Hot 100. He achieved similar commercial success with its follow up mainstream sellout (2022).
Machine Gun Kelly had his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014), and since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).

In the crib, fuckin around with a regular bitch,
Never hollywood i still with my regular click,
King of my city, still on some regular shit!

Where no other kid on the block runnin like me,
Don't nobody shoot movies about us,
Cause everything about us is pretend,
So if you can stand it, you can get the fuck off to the kitchen!

The song "Midwest Side" by Machine Gun Kelly is an ode to the artist's hometown and the Midwest region of the United States. Kelly boasts about his roots in a small city in the Midwest, where he moves freely and without fear. He claims to be the king of his city and proud of being on "regular shit" and having a "regular click." Kelly asserts that despite his hometown's lack of representation in movies and pop culture, its inhabitants are real, and he is a product of the hard-working, down-to-earth Midwestern spirit.
Kelly's pride in his roots and the region's toughness is evident in the lyrics. He takes a few shots at Hollywood and hoes, declaring that he tatted “fuck these hoes” on his arm, so everybody knows. He shouts out various places in the Midwest, such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Indiana, and stresses that he's from the Eastside of the city. The song's central message is the pride and authenticity that can be found in the often-overlooked Midwest, and it serves as a call for others to recognize and join the movement.
