Lainey Wilson and Post Malone May Have More Collabs in the Pipeline

Post Malone is making the rounds on his country music welcome tour. And he’s enlisted quite the array of talent to join him. The tracklist to his genre debut F-1 Trillion—which hits shelves Friday, Aug. 16—reads like a CMA Awards seating chart. Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson are just some of the country stars contributing to the “White Iverson” rapper’s crossover. And just like Luke Combs, the “Hang Tight Honey” singer has revealed there’s more where that came from with Post Malone.

Lainey Wilson Has Written “Multiple” Songs With Post Malone

If you’re pivoting to country music, you need the genre’s reigning Entertainer of the Year on your side. Lainey Wilson will join Post Malone on F-1 Trillion for “Nosedive.” In fact, the collaboration was born the day after the “Watermelon Moonshine” singer virtually swept the 2023 CMA Awards.

“[He] called and was like, ‘Hey do you wanna come write?’” Wilson recalled during a recent interview with Absolute Radio Country. “So we wrote for like 16 hours, I think —we wrote through the night.

The GRAMMY winner admitted she struggled adjusting to Posty’s nocturnal schedule. (“I was trying to be cool, I was like, ‘Yeah, we’re gonna get through it, we’re gonna get through it.’”) But the good news is, the pair of hitmakers got plenty of material out of it.

“We wrote multiple [songs] and it was so much fun, just to see how they work too, you know?” Wilson said. The six-time ACM Award winner isn’t sure whether the songs will ever see the light of day, but she hopes so. “I mean, they were really good songs…we’ll see!”

Lainey Also Has an Album Coming This Month

August is a major month for both Lainey Wilson and Post Malone. The “I Had Some Help” singer will make his Grand Ole Opry debut next Wednesday, Aug. 14. Wilson is also set to perform on the same stage that day.

Two days later (Friday, Aug. 16,) we’ll hear “Nosedive” for the first time when F-1 Trillion hits shelves. Then Whirlwind, the follow-up to Wilson’s GRAMMY-winning record Bell Bottom Country, arrives the following Friday (Aug. 23.)

In other words, it’s a good month to be a country music fan.
