Post Malone’s ‘F-1 Trillion’: A Song by Song Breakdown of Featured Artists, Producers and More

Post Malone has made such a focused charm offensive on Nashville that it’s less a question of who is on his new, full-on country album “F-1 Trillion” than who isn’t: legends like Dolly Parton and Hank Williams Jr., vets like Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton, reigning chart champ Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, virtuosos like Chris Stapleton and Bill Strings, relative newcomers Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson, and many others across the album’s sprawling 18 songs — just three of them aren’t duets (except for the nine solo bonus tracks that he surprise-dropped 12 hours after the album’s release).

He’s leaned into the imagery of it all as well, with pickup trucks, beer and American flags in the video for the album’s chart-topping lead single with Morgan Wallen “I Had Some Help” and lyrical references about babes, booze, benders, cars, guns, cigarettes, booze, football, heartbreaks, speeding tickets, booze, cars, booze and more booze.

Post, a native of Texas, began his career as a vocalist before emerging as a globally successful rapper. Lately, he has been gravitating toward this path and giving acoustic performances. His endeavors in Nashville have yielded fruitful results: numerous industry figures and his partners extol his talents, beauty, and sincerity.

The bulk of this album was produced by his longtime collaborators Louis Bell (Taylor Swift’s “Fortnite,” Camila Cabello’s “Havana,” Halsey, Kanye West and many others) and Charlie Handsome (Kanye West, Drake, Jack Harlow, Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, Mac Miller and more), with three co-produced by Hoskins (Khalid, Teezo Touchdown, Don Toliver, Alesso); Bell and Handsome each have a writing credit on every song as well. While the producers are primarily from the hip-hop and pop worlds and don’t have deep country bona fides, it’s in the songwriting where Post has gone deep.

In fact, he’s enlisted an army of the city’s most successful songwriters to collaborate. The full credits are listed below, but frequent collaborators — many of whom are also successful artists — include:

Ashley Gorely: Named Variety’s Hitmakers songwriter of the year for 2023 thanks to his multiple credits with Morgan Wallen, he’s also worked extensively with Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton, Hardy and many others.

Ernest: Another big Wallen collaborator, his credits stretch far beyond Nashville and include Jazmine Sullivan, Zayn and Lil Durk as well as more expected artists like Jelly Roll, Kane Brown and Florida Georgia Line; he’s also a successful artist and is a featured performer on

James McNair: One of Luke Combs’ primary collaborators, his credits also include Wallen, Hardy, Florida Georgia Line, Lady A, Keith Urban and others.

Chandler Walters: A relative newcomer, Walters is an Ernest protégé and played guitar in his band before landing three cuts on Bailey Zimmerman’s hit debut album “Religiously” and four cuts here.

Other Nashville vets with two cuts each are Chase McGill (Wallen, Hardy, Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett) and Josh Thompson (Wallen, Rhett, Jason Aldean).
