Morgan Wallen and Post Malone have joined forces for “I Ain’t Comin’ Back.” The song is the pair’s second collaboration after last year’s hit single “I Had Some Help,” and will appear on Wallen’s forthcoming album I’m the Problem, out May 16 via Big Loud/Mercury.
Mid-tempo country number “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” sees Wallen and Malone trading verses as they reflect on being a rambler. “Now I’m walkin’ on this water, mixed with Johnnie Walker Black,” Wallen croons over the chorus. “There’s a lot of reasons I ain’t Jesus/ But the main one is that I ain’t comin’ back.”
Wallen and Malone have been teasing the song over the past few days. The pair announced the new single on Tuesday via Instagram, posting a photo of themselves together with the title and release date. Wallen also shared the 37-song track list for I’m the Problem, which includes features by Tate McRae, Eric Church, and Ernest.
Last year, Wallen and Malone ruled country radio and the pop charts last year with “I Had Some Help,” which topped the Hot 100 for six weeks. The song, which appeared on Malone’s F-1 Trillion album, his first full-album foray into country music, went on to be nominated for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the Grammy Awards.
In support of his fourth album, Wallen will hit the road for his I’m the Problem tour across North America and will kick things off in Houston, Texas, at NRG Stadium with Corey Kent and Koe Wetzel. Other special guests planned for the stadium run include Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Gavin Adcock, Ella Langley, and Anne Wilson.
“As I’ve been working on new music, it has inspired me to get back on the road and share these new songs with each of you on the I’m The Problem Tour,” said Wallen in a previous statement. “See y’all there.”
Malone is a headliner at this year’s Coachella, and the new song’s release leaves high potential for Wallen to join him onstage for the festival’s second weekend.
