The music video for "DAYWALKER!" opens on a street brawl, setting a violent tone for the rest of the song. Genius reveals that the brutal themes may be inspired by actual events from Machine Gun Kelly and Corpse Husband's respective pasts. In the second verse, Corpse raps, "Put a gun up to my face, I won't f***ing catch a case," seemingly alluding to an incident on March 23, 2020, in which he was threatened at gunpoint. "I literally almost got killed earlier this year, like legitimately had a gun pulled on me," the YouTuber revealed to Sportskeeda in 2020, adding that he was "almost murdered." Though Genius notes that Corpse has opted not to speak publicly on what happened for his own safety, he might be processing the trauma through art.

Like his musical collaborator Corpse, MGK has had his own brushes with violence. In 2018, TMZ reported that his bodyguards "beat the bloody h**l" out of actor Gabriel "G-Rod" Rodriguez. According to the outlet, the altercation started after Rodriguez taunted MGK over his feud with Eminem, branding him a "p***y." The beef between the two rappers originated when MGK tweeted that Eminem's then-16-year-old daughter Hailie was "hot as f**k." Eminem responded to the tweet in his 2018 single "Not Alike," rapping, "I respond rarely, but this time Shady 'bout to sound off ... Let me put a f**king silencer on this little / Non-threatening blond fairy cornball takin' shots at me."
