“Sunflower” singer Post Malone is continuing his country music career with a bang, following up his fan favorite duet with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help,” with yet another collaboration. Teaming up with the one and only Blake Shelton this time around, “Pour Me a Drink” will likely be a smash hit from the pair, debuting it at CMA Fest earlier this month and dropping it on streaming services today (June 21).
Written by Post Malone himself — alongside Charlie Handsome, John Byron, Jordan Dozzi, Louis Bell and Rocky Block — “Pour Me a Drink” is as catchy as can be and perfect for radio, leaving country music lovers begging for the track ever since it was teased on social media back in May:
“Ahhhh one of those songs you’re gonna be screaming in your car this summer 🔥🔥🔥”
“On repeat when this drops. And Posty and his country era is just 🔥”
“What a great song ❤️”
The laid-back, easy-going anthem discusses both individuals letting go and enjoying a drink, despite some not-so great circumstances — the Dallas Mavericks losing a game in overtime, getting a speeding ticket, getting heartbroken and more — set atop a twangy, summer-leaning tune. Alternating verses, the duo unites in the chorus of “Pour Me a Drink,” singing alongside one another:
“Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke
I’m ’bout to get on a buzz, I’m ’bout to get on a roll
Yeah, I been breakin’ my back just keepin’ up with the Joneses
Y’all know what I mean, and y’all know how it goes
When it’s up on a Friday and I’m paid, slide one over my way
I can’t even think when I can hear one callin’ my name (Hey)”
“Pour Me a Drink” is another glimpse into Posty’s sixth studio album — titled F-1 Trillion, which will arrive August 16 — and his first country-leaning body of work. It is safe to say that the project will include both his collaboration with Shelton and his collaboration with Wallen, as well as “Never Love You Again,” an yet-to-be released tune that he performed at the 2024 ACM Awards. Country music lovers are also expecting an unnamed tune that he teased on Father’s Day to be a part of the project as well.
With the album aside, based on teasers shared by Post Malone, it looks like a music video is on the horizon for “Pour Me a Drink” as well. Complete with trucks, beautiful women, red solo cups and beyond, it’s safe to say we will be keeping up with the soon-to-be country star on social media for all of the updates…
Until then, you can listen “Pour Me a Drink” on your favorite music streaming service as we speak:
