Post Malone and Morgan Wallen are teaming up again, and fans are already losing it.
Their new single I Ain’t Coming Back drops this Friday, April 18, and it follows the insane success of their first collab I Had Some Help. That song wasn’t just a hit-it was a record-breaker, pulling nearly 14 million Spotify streams in a day and climbing to the top of charts worldwide. So yeah, expectations are sky high for this new Post Malone and Morgan Wallen collaboration.
Post Malone isn’t just dabbling in country anymore-he’s in deep. He recently shared that he’s recorded around 35 songs for his second country album, which is set to follow up his 2024 release F-1 Trillion. In an interview with Billboard before his Coachella set last Sunday, he sounded genuinely fired up. He talked about the creative energy in Nashville, where he’s been working with Ernest, Hardy, and Thomas Rhett. “We just sit and f***ing talk and make songs,” Malone said.
He also mentioned how weird it is to actually enjoy listening to his own stuff now. “I sit there and listen to these songs, and I usually hate listening to my music, but listening to the band play, I get so excited.”
While Malone’s roots are in hip-hop and pop, his country sound is far from one-note. He’s bringing his usual genre-bending flair, mixing traditional country elements with his signature style. “You put a twist on the instrumentation and the musicianship of it,” he explained. With Lillie Mae on fiddle and Chandler “Cheese” Walters on steel guitar, he’s layering real country vibes into his set-old songs included.
He summed it up perfectly: “That’s always been the thing about me, is it’s all just f****** music.”
And despite his confidence in the studio, Malone admitted he was a bit anxious before hitting the stage at Coachella. “I wasn’t as nervous back then… I’m just old now. Everything hurts,” he said with a laugh. But nerves aside, he’ll be headlining again this Sunday, April 20, and fans are hoping he’ll preview more of the new tracks.
As for I Ain’t Coming Back, the title alone screams heartbreak banger, and with both Malone and Wallen involved, it’s probably going to dominate both country and pop charts again. Their chemistry on I Had Some Help was unmatched-Post’s smoky vocals paired with Wallen’s Southern drawl just worked. No gimmicks, no forced vibe-just a solid, radio-ready hit.
This second collaboration is more than just another track-it’s a major signpost in Malone’s full shift into country music. And for Wallen, it’s another collab that strengthens his grip as country music’s current crossover king. If you thought their first track was a fluke, I Ain’t Coming Back is about to prove it wasn’t.
Ready for I Ain’t Coming Back? Drop your thoughts once it hits and tell us if it lives up to I Had Some Help. Don’t forget to keep an eye on Post Malone’s country album rollout, and if you’re tuning into Coachella this weekend, he’s headlining Sunday-might even play the new track live.
