"Trap Paris" is a song by American musician Machine Gun Kelly featuring fellow American musicians Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign.[1][2] It was released on April 13, 2017, via Bad Boy and Interscope.[3]

Background and concept

The song is originally about a night in Berlin but Machine Gun Kelly felt that "Germany" had too many syllables, whereas Paris was "just so quick". Kelly hesitated to add a second verse to the song, and seeing as the album does not have that many collaborations, he decided to more collaborations. He contacted Quavo for a possible feature. Quavo responded by sending his verse. Kelly got Dolla Sign on the song after they were at Sean Combs's house party and traded numbers for a feature. Ty recorded the chorus the following day. This was Kelly and Ty Dolla Sign's first time working together. The song was officially released on April 13, 2017.[4]

The music video was released June 7, 2017 and it was directed by Ben Griffin. As of March 2023, the music video has received over 41 million views.[5]
