Limp Bizkit is back and they're not holding back! After a four-year hiatus, the rap-rock icons have unleashed a new single, "Making Love to Morgan Wallen," a title guaranteed to turn heads. But what does it all mean?
The song, while provocatively titled, doesn't actually feature Morgan Wallen or explicitly delve into the act of making love. Instead, it's a classic Limp Bizkit concoction of simmering rap verses and explosive hard rock choruses. Frontman Fred Durst even offers a moment of vulnerability at the start, with a nod to the late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, singing, "Damn, I miss you, Chester/Sending love from a bass compressor."
Lyrically, the track takes aim at familiar targets. Durst drops bars about Napster, the band's old nemesis, and even references getting "kicked out of the Trump Resort." But the real question is, what about that title? The line that gave the song its name only appears in the outro: "I make this motherfucker diamond-plated/Making love to Morgan Wallen in an elevator."
Is Durst's character making love *to* Morgan Wallen, or making love to someone else *while* Wallen's music plays? Limp Bizkit isn't offering any easy answers, leaving fans to speculate on the song's true meaning. This marks their first new material since their 2021 album, Still Sucks.
The band also recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of their hits "My Generation" and "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)", which were released the same day. The songs helped cement Limp Bizkit's place as a household name and multi-platinum act.
