Aside from Post, Wallen’s new album will also feature Eric Church, Hardy and most notably pop star Tate McRae, who is featured on the song “What I Want.”
As for Post Malone, he’ll be headlining Coachella once again for Weekend Two this Sunday, opening the possibility to be debuting the new song on one of live music‘s biggest stages, either with or without Wallen.
