SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: Landon Barker, a rising GenZ singer and the son of Travis Barker, has been making headlines lately. His name first grabbed attention in 2022 when he caught the eye of Charli D'Amelio.
Now, he's sending his fans into a frenzy with his latest TikTok promotion, teasing the imminent release of his upcoming single titled 'Friends With Your Ex.'
According to a report from Us Weekly, the duo initially began making public appearances together in June 2022. However, their approach was to take their time "getting to know each other and enjoying themselves," all the while maintaining a "low-key" profile.
What's Landon Barker's upcoming release all about?
On September 13, the 19-year-old musician posted a TikTok video in which he was lip-syncing to his song titled 'Friends With Your EX.' The lyrics of the song appear to suggest a particular connection between two individuals.
However, the identity of these individuals, to whom the lyrics may be referring, remains a subject of speculation and curiosity.
It appears that the lyrics of the song may indeed be hinting at Landon Barker's girlfriend, TikTok star Charli D'Amelio, and her ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson.
This speculation adds an intriguing layer to the song's narrative and has likely stirred even more interest among fans and followers of the couple.
The lyrics go like this, "I close my eyes and I see you, it's only you, I make mistakes but so do you, it's what we do, I was friends with your ex, you were with him when we met."

According to reports from Just Jared, there were online rumors circulating that Charli D'Amelio had cheated on Chase Hudson with Landon Barker, and interestingly, it was also suggested that Landon and Chase were best friends.
However, in the season two finale of 'The D'Amelio Show,' Charli and Landon took the opportunity to debunk these rumors. This public clarification likely helped put an end to the speculation surrounding their relationship.
"What people don’t understand is that we were dating off the internet, broke up off the internet. Like, I haven’t talked to him in, like, six months. Things have been over for a while," Charli said.
She added, "I did not cheat on my ex-boyfriend, and they were not best friends... We have been broken up for so long. If people have a problem with that, that is not my fault. And I owe nothing to you.”
“People were going on and saying that, like, I was a cheater and it was just like stupid stuff like that that literally comes out of nowhere," she said.
