Post Malone has never been one to stick to just one genre. In his latest collaboration with country superstar Morgan Wallen, he’s shown how versatile he can be. Their joint single, “I Had Some Help,” marks a significant milestone for Malone as he steps fully into the country music scene. Featured as the lead track on his country-inspired album F-1 Trillion, the song has become a hit that no one saw coming—but one that makes perfect sense.

In the first few days of its release, “I Had Some Help” quickly took over the charts, drawing millions of streams and airplay impressions. According to Billboard, the song debuted at Number One on the Hot 100 chart, marking Post Malone’s second Number One hit of 2024. It’s not just a single; it’s a statement—a crossover bridging the gap between genres and winning over fans from all corners.

From Country Covers to a Country Career Move

Post Malone’s dive into country music might seem like a giant leap, but it’s no surprise for those who’ve followed his career. He’s been dabbling in country for years, covering classics like Elvis Presley’s “Blue Suede Shoes” and Sturgill Simpson’s “You Can Have the Crown.” His performance at the Stagecoach Festival, where he shared the stage with country stars like Dwight Yoakam and Brad Paisley, showcased his natural love for the genre.

Teaming up with Morgan Wallen for “I Had Some Help” was a natural next step, and the result is a track that perfectly blends Wallen’s traditional country vocals with Malone’s signature twist. As reported by Variety, the duo first unveiled the song during Wallen’s headlining performance at the Stagecoach Music Festival on April 28 before its official release on May 10. The song captures the shared accountability in a relationship gone wrong, with lyrics like, “It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself.”

A New Era for Post Malone in Country

With the release of F-1 Trillion, Malone has proven that his venture into country music is no passing phase. “I Had Some Help” is just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a successful crossover for the multi-genre artist. His fans in pop and country are eagerly embracing this new chapter.

As Post Malone continues to explore the country genre, he’s doing so with a genuine passion, not as a tourist but as an artist who truly respects and enjoys the sound. Whether it’s covering country classics or releasing original hits like “I Had Some Help,” one thing is clear: Post Malone has found his place in country music, and fans can’t wait to hear what comes next.
