Landon Barker sat down with Billboard News’ Tetris Kelly to talk about his track “Friends With Your Ex” and the fan reaction, working with girlfriend Charli D’Amelio, getting advice from father Travis Barker, finding balance in his life and more!
Landon Barker:I’m gonna blow everybody’s mind this next year. I’m really, really excited to show everything that I have. Hey, it’s Landon Barker, and this is Billboard News.
Tetris Kelly:Hey, it’s Tetris with Billboard News, and I’m hanging out with Landon Barker.
Let’s talk about your debut single. What was the inspiration about the song? I feel like that title is real, it’s got some drama behind it, “Friends With Your Ex.”
Landon Barker:It’s kind of about falling in love with somebody you’re not supposed to, but still seeing things through and having a good outcome.
Tetris Kelly:This is your first debut single. How was it to, like, kind of go from a personal experience versus being, like, “I don’t want people in my business” kind of a way?
Landon Barker:The story behind the song was I was in a session and it was somebody that I worked with often. He was like, “Dude, I feel like you keep on writing songs about the same thing. Why don’t we incorporate something that’s actually happening in your life?” because I would always shoot to, like, a song about heartbreak, or a song about a girl or a song about being sad, or whatever it is, like, just, like, very, like, repetitive topics. He actually was like, “Let’s dive in and let’s write something about your life right now.” And that’s kind of how that came to be.
Tetris Kelly:And talking about mirroring your life, your boo, Charli (D’Amelio), is in the music video. So what’s the reaction been, like the song and the music video and you guys being together like that?
Landon Barker:It’s honestly been pretty good. I’ve been on, like, TikTok watching it. There’s, like, little clips going around. People were like, “What movie is this from?” So I’m like, “D–n, I’m excited about it.”Watch the full video above!

ENHYPEN:Yeah, first of all, I just want to say the energy was so amazing.
Tetris Kelly:Well, you talked about their energy — your energy was crazy. There was so much dancing. I think Jungwon, one time you were like on the ground doing choreo and you looked at the camera and I was like, “How do you guys do all of this?” So how was it to concentrate on the dancing, the singing, the fans? How do you balance all of that?
ENHYPEN:We can perform because of ENGENES’ cheers, ENGENES’ energy. I think we get used to it the more we do it. The cheers really pump us up, and the adrenaline rush keeps us going.
Tetris Kelly:“Bite Me” towards the end of the show — I love seeing you guys perform that. So let’s talk about that single and how has it been to perform that for the ENGENES?
ENHYPEN:The fans’ chants were mind-blowing. They were cheering so loudly.
