It’s been four years since Limp Bizkit last released new music, and the rap-rock behemoths have returned with a song guaranteed to garner attention for its title alone: “Making Love to Morgan Wallen.”
The track itself has nothing to do with the country star — or even really making love. In fact, it opens with a moment of vulnerability from frontman Fred Durst, who says “Damn, I miss you, Chester/Sending love from a bass compressor,” in a nod to late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington.
The song continues as you would expect a Limp Bizkit song to continue: Simmering rap verses giving way to explosive hard rock choruses, with Durst dropping bars about the band’s old foe, Napster, and another about getting “kicked out of the Trump Resort.” The line that ostensibly gave the song its eye-catching title doesn’t come until the outro, when Durst says, “I make this motherfucker diamond-plated/Making love to Morgan Wallen in an elevator.”
Questions, of course, abound, chief among them: Is the narrator of this song making love to Morgan Wallen himself in an elevator, or making love to someone else while Morgan Wallen’s music plays in an elevator? Limp Bizkit, so far, have withheld any answers.
We’ve also reached out to Wallen’s rep for comment, because we couldn’t not.

It’s unclear if “Making Love to Morgan Wallen” marks the start of a new album cycle for Limp Bizkit, as it was released via EA Games and appears tied to their upcoming release, Battlefield 6. The game’s recent trailer also featured a new remix of Limp Bizkit’s 1999 hit “Break Stuff.”
Limp Bizkit dropped their most recent album, Still Sucks, in 2021, and that album was notably the group’s first in 10 years. Since Still Sucks, the group has been quiet in terms of sharing new music, but they have been involved in a major lawsuit with Universal Music Group over unpaid royalties.
