Post Malone‘s newly released collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help,” is riding atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and Posty is already teasing a collab with another country vocalist: Blake Shelton.

Post Malone shared a video on Instagram on Thursday (May 23), in which he’s seen cracking open a beer and jamming in a studio, while the audio features the star singing in collaboration with Shelton.

The uptempo song’s lyrics celebrate a freewheeling, let loose night of partying, as Shelton and Post trade lines like, “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…I’ve been breaking my back, just keepin’ up with the Joneses.”

Post Malone has certainly been on a collaborations roll of late, having previously teamed up with Beyonce for the song “Leviis Jeans” from her album Cowboy Carter (the song reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100), followed by a collaboration with Taylor Swift on “Fortnight” from her album The Tortured Poets Department (the song spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100), and the Post Malone-Wallen collab.

This isn’t the first time Post Malone and Shelton have traded vocals together. In 2019, as part of an Elvis Presley All-Star tribute performance, they collaborated on Presley’s classic “Blue Suede Shoes.” The 28-year-old Post Malone has also previously covered country songs from Hank Williams, Alan Jackson and George Strait.

On the recent ACM Awards, Post Malone also previewed some new music for fans, performing a heartbreak ballad titled “Never Love You Again.” At last year’s CMA Awards, Post Malone teamed with Morgan Wallen and HARDY to perform a tribute to the late Joe Diffie, offering up cover versions of Diffie’s “John Deere Green” and “Pickup Man.” Shortly after, Post Malone made his Billboard Country Airplay chart debut with “Pickup Man” from HARDY’s Hixtape Vol. 3: Difftape project (the song rose to No. 44 on the Country Airplay chart).

Nine years ago, Post Malone even made the prediction of his country crossover, posting on Twitter at the time, “When I turn 30 I’m becoming a country/folk singer.”

It seems Post Malone is already making good on that promise.
