Remember MKTO? That dynamic duo—Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller—who blessed the early 2010s with infectious pop bops and lyrics that still live rent-free in our brains?

While “Classic” and “God Only Knows” dominated the charts, MKTO had a treasure trove of underrated gems that slipped under the radar.

Here are 5 MKTO songs you forgot existed—but will instantly recognize the second those beats hit.

1. “American Dream” (2014)

This anthem of youthful rebellion was the perfect follow-up to “Classic,” but it never got the same love.

Fun fact: The song’s music video features a cameo from YouTube star Ricky Dillon, a nod to MKTO’s early embrace of digital culture.

Ever caught yourself humming, “We don’t fit in, no we weren’t raised that way”? Yeah, that’s this one.

2. “Heartbreak Holiday” (2014)

A summer-ready track with a bittersweet twist, this song is the definition of a “forgotten bop.”

Did you know? The duo wrote this after a particularly rough tour stretch, channeling their exhaustion into a song about escaping reality.

Those opening guitar riffs? Instant nostalgia.

3. “Nowhere” (2017)

From their *second* album (yes, they had one!), this track is a moody, synth-driven departure from their usual sound.

Trivia time: MKTO teased this song on social media with cryptic posts, leaving fans scrambling for clues.

If you missed this era, you’re not alone—but the chorus will still slap you with déjà vu.

4. “Bad Girls” (2013)

Before “Classic” blew up, this was MKTO’s debut single—and it’s a *vibe*.

Here’s the kicker: The song samples the iconic “Bad Boys” theme from *Cops*, giving it a cheeky, lawless energy.

Still guilty of shouting, “Bad girls, bad girls, whatcha gonna do?” at random? Same.

5. “Forever Until Tomorrow” (2014)

This deep cut from their debut album is a soaring, emotional ballad that showcases Tony and Malcolm’s harmonies.

Bonus fact: It was almost left off the album for being “too slow,” but fans later called it one of their most underrated tracks.

Cue the goosebumps when that chorus hits.

So, did we just unlock a core memory?

MKTO’s discography is a time capsule of 2010s pop magic, and these tracks prove they were more than a one-hit wonder.
