Travis Barker of Blink-182 served as an executive producer of this album. It opens with the mid-tempo and unapologetic “Title Track” and it is followed by the high-octane “Kiss Kiss,” and the youthful “Drunk Face.” It continues with his smash single, the infectious “Bloody Valentine” and “Forget Me Too,” his duet with Halsey.
“All I Know,” which features Trippie Redd, is lyrically and sonically stunning. It features the nonchalant single “My Ex’s Best Friend,” which is a noteworthy collaboration with Blackbear.
Other standout songs include “Concert for Aliens” and “Lonely.” After the uptempo “Nothing Inside,” it closes with “Banyan Tree” and the cathartic “Play This When I’m Gone.”
Tickets To My Downfall is available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and on Spotify.
