The moment country music fans have been waiting for has finally arrived.
On Friday, May 10, Morgan Wallen and Post Malone dropped their joint single “I Had Some Help” after weeks of teasing on social media. The accompanying music video will be released at 10am ET.
Malone, 28, first teased the song with a 17-second clip on TikTok in April, prompting fans to beg the duo to release a single. Then, during Wallen’s performance at Stagecoach, he brought Malone out to perform the song live for the first time.
The country-pop-infused song seamlessly blends Wallen, 30, and Malone’s vocals as they sing about a breakup.

“I had help/It’s not like I can make a mess like this by myself/Don’t act like you didn’t help me get that bottle off the shelf,” they sing in the chorus.
After the Stagecoach performance, Wallen and Malone announced on social media that they would finally release the song.
Prior to “I Had Some Help,” Malone took the stage with HARDY and Wallen at the 2023 CMA Awards honoring the late Joe Diffie with performances of “John Deere Green” and “Pickup Man.”
He also had his own set at Stagecoach where he performed a number of country covers and brought out country stars like Brad Paisley, Sara Evans and Dwight Yoakam. He is also scheduled to perform at the ACM Awards on May 16.
Per Boardthe “Chemical” singer confirmed he’s recording a country record during a Twitch livestream.
“There’s a country record coming. I keep singing the song we did when I was in Nashville. It’s so fucking sick, but it’s not out,” he said, according to the outlet.

Meanwhile, Wallen is currently on his One Night at a Time world tour, which will run through August.
Prior to the start of this leg of the tour, Wallen was arrested on felony charges in Nashville for allegedly throwing a chair from a six-story bar in Nashville.
On Friday, April 19, he addressed the arrested with statement about X.
“I didn’t feel right coming out publicly until I made amends with some people. I touched the base of law in Nashville, my family and the good people at the Chiefs. I am not proud of my behavior and accept responsibility,” he wrote. “I have the utmost respect for the officers who work every day to keep us all safe. As for my tour, there will be no changes.”

The hearing was held on Friday, May 3, and his lawyer Worrick Robinson appeared in court instead.
After discussions between the judge and the lawyer, the case will now continue in August. Speaking to reporters after the hearing, Robinson said it “was a very typical day in a criminal case in Davidson County General Sessions Court.”
“This is obviously a very complicated case and it will not resolve itself without subpoenas and witnesses,” the lawyer told reporters. “We’re going to work on the case from our end and then Morgan will be here on August 15. A couple of things could happen — we might have a hearing, we might settle the case, or the case might continue. Those are the options.”
Robinson continued: “We are not being asked to plead guilty.”
