Landon Barker has made a notable comeback in the music scene with the release of his latest music video, “If I Ever Talk to God.” The video debuted on Monday, 14 September, and has garnered attention not just for its catchy tune but also for its star-studded cameos, including appearances by his father, the renowned drummer Travis Barker, and stepmother Kourtney Kardashian, as well as reality star Ashtin Earle, who plays the role of his love interest.

The storyline of the music video is reminiscent of the classic film “Groundhog Day,” as it depicts Landon trapped in a repetitive cycle where he attempts to prevent a wedding from occurring. Dressed in a stylish Alexander McQueen tuxedo, the 22-year-old musician is shown driving a vintage red convertible towards Earle’s wedding, hosted at a picturesque estate in Southern California. As he approaches the venue, he applies Valentino Beauty’s Born in Roma Uomo fragrance, seemingly ready to interrupt the ceremony.
However, as Landon endeavours to make his way through various obstacles to reach Earle, he finds himself in a continuous loop of attempts to object to the union. Each iteration presents new challenges, forcing him to adapt while ultimately bringing him back to square one. The frustration is palpable as viewers witness his earnest attempts to reclaim the love he feels is slipping away.
The pivotal moment arrives when Landon finally manages to get to the altar. However, a mix-up occurs when he glances back and sees his parents, Travis and Kourtney, supporting his efforts from the crowd. This moment cranks up the tension before he successfully manages to pull Earle aside, and they make a daring escape together.
In a twist of fate, just as they are about to drive off into the sunset, the narrative flips back to reality. The video concludes with Landon solemnly watching Ashtin Earle depart with her new husband, underscoring the bittersweet tone of the storyline.
Directed by Hunter Moreno, the music video has resonated on social media, with nearly 100,000 TikTok posts related to the track, reflecting its growing popularity. This new release marks Landon’s first foray into music after a two-year hiatus, following his earlier singles, “Over You” and “Friends with Your Ex.”
“Friends with Your Ex,” released in 2023, featured contributions from his father, showcasing a collaborative effort that illustrates the close bond between the two. Travis Barker expressed his pride in working with Landon, stating, “It was an honour to produce it and play drums on it. Watching him grow up playing and writing music has been a dream come true.”
Landon’s musical talent is also a reflection of his diverse family background. He is one of seven children in a blended family that includes his father and Kourtney Kardashian. Travis shares two children, daughter Alabama, aged 20, and stepdaughter Atiana, aged 27, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Kourtney, on the other hand, shares three children—sons Reign, aged 11, and Mason, aged 16, along with daughter Penelope, aged 14—with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. The couple also welcomed a son, Rocky, in November 2023.
As Landon Barker continues to navigate his burgeoning music career, with “If I Ever Talk to God” serving as a powerful return, fans and followers of the Barker-Kardashian family can look forward to more musical endeavours from this promising artist. With a solid foundation of familial support and a growing fanbase, Landon is poised to make significant contributions to the music industry in the years ahead.
