Grammy-nominated pop superstar Post Malone's foray into country music continues to take greater shape via the arrival of his and Billboard country and pop chart-topping performer Morgan Wallen's long-anticipated duet, "I Had Some Help."
The single was written by Post, Wallen, Grammy-nominated producer Louis Bell, Ryan Vojtesak, recent CMA Triple Play Award winner and 75-plus-time country chart-topping songwriter Ashley Gorley, ERNEST, Chandler Walters, and Hoskins. Bell, Charlie Handsome, and Hoskins produced the track.
The song has been teased for months, including during the encore of Stagecoach Festival's final "Mane Stage" headlining set of the weekend, where Wallen brought out Malone to perform it.
When is Post Malone releasing his country album?
Rumors continue to abound about when Malone's full country album will arrive. It's a safe assumption that the album will, in all likelihood, feature the track.

This week, Malone posted a teaser of the song's final video confirming what fans had previously spotted in Joshua Tree.

Post Malone's country stylings take shape on Stagecoach's 'Mane Stage'
At Stagecoach, Malone brought out special guests for his first-ever 45-minute country cover set on the Mane Stage. The event included appearances from Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley and Sara Evans.
"We're going to be doing a bunch of songs that I (expletive) love," stated Malone, who introduced himself by his government name, Austin Richard Post.
His set opened with Tyler Childers' "Whitehouse Road," but Dwight Yoakam joined for "Little Ways." Paisley joined the stage for his song "I'm Gonna Miss Her." Then, the tandem performed Vince Gill's 1992 hit "One More Last Chance."
Digging even deeper into his country bag, recent Grand Ole Opry inductee Evans appeared to perform her 2000s-era mainstream country favorite "Suds in the Bucket."
Not to be just limited to Hall of Famers and Opry members, Malone also played Tim McGraw's "Don't Take The Girl," John Michael Montgomery's "Be My Baby Tonight," "Chattahoochee" by Alan Jackson, Toby Keith's "Who's Your Daddy" and George Strait's 1995 chart-topper "Check Yes or No."
Malone's country leanings in prior years
Alongside singing Joe Diffie tunes with HARDY and Morgan Wallen at 2023's Country Music Association Awards, the multi-platinum "Rockstar" vocalist also sang a steel guitar-aided acoustic guitar rendition of "America The Beautiful" at Super Bowl LVIII.
This followed him spending considerable time in Nashville, Tennessee, throughout the close of 2023 alongside artists including Paisley, Luke Combs, ERNEST, Jelly Roll, Wallen and more.

Other highlight moments in years past included performances of Sturgill Simpson's "You Can Have the Crown" and Brad Paisley's "I'm Gonna Miss Her" during Matthew McConaughey's "We're Texas" fundraising event after Winter Storm Uri in 2021.
Malone was also a pitchman for the Bud Light brand, including engaging in a Garth Brooks-style "Dive Bar" mini-concert tour.
Where will Post Malone play more country music next?
On May 16, Post Malone is scheduled to join Noah Kahan, Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani as a performer at the 59th ACM Awards hosted by 16-time award winner Reba McEntire. The event will be free to stream live on Amazon's Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, at 8 p.m. EDT / 7 p.m. CDT / 5 p.m. PDT.
Parker McCollum has been announced as a performer, joining Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, and Lainey Wilson. Host McEntire will also perform as a vocalist.
Post Malone is also scheduled to headline the 2024 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, which will be held June 13-16. Other acts performing at the event include fellow headliners Pretty Lights, Fisher, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fred Again. Additional performers include Cage the Elephant, Megan Thee Stallion, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Diplo and T-Pain.
