Another summer jam.
Today, Post Malone released a new song from his forthcoming F-1 Trillion album called “Pour Me A Drink,” which features Blake Shelton that they previously debuted at CMA Fest.
After revealing the album cover art earlier this week, we also now know that Posty’s country project will feature 18 songs (they show up when you pre-add it), though only two songs are available at the moment, which includes this new one as well as “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.

While the production on “Pour Me A Drink” is super catchy and fun, the song is a little bit lackluster in terms of the lyrical content using some very typical, obvious country topes, that find Malone and Shelton lamenting the tough work week ready to have an ice cold beer:
“Fourty hours got me goin’ out my mind
Dallas dropped another game in overtime
Caught a ticket speeding down the 65
Don’t know where I’m goin’
Guess I really went and messed it up again
Now, my baby’s goner than the Tulsa wind
Judgin’ by the stone-sober state I’m in
Need to crack one wide open”
It’s a little cliche and sounds like something Blake might’ve released in 2014, but I have to give them credit and say I know this will be another fan-favorite, instant hit, perfect to blast out on the lake or for whatever outdoor activity you have going on all summer long.
I’ve only listened to it maybe twice now and it’s already stuck in my head…
Post has of course been teasing, and releasing, several country songs from the forthcoming country album, and his aforementioned song with Morgan Wallen “I Had Some Help” (which is the lead single) just notched a fifth straight week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
He also teased another new one the other day called “She Ain’t Yours,” and I can’t wait to find out what other songs made the final cut. Posty has been pictured in the studio writing with the likes of Morgan, Ernest, Luke Combs and some of Nashville’s most prominent writers, which means we’re likely in for some great stuff and maybe even a few surprises.
Posty has teased a duet with Luke, as well as a solo classic country heartbreaker called “Never Love You Again” that I am already obsessed with, so we’ll see soon if those all made the final cut.
This is the classic-style country I was hoping Posty would deliver and I can’t wait to hear how it sounds with a little production:
“I Had Some Help”
