Songfacts®:

  • In this song, Post Malone teams up with Hardy to explore the depths of commitment in a relationship. They pose thought-provoking questions about the nature of true loyalty when faced with challenging circumstances. The repeated line, "Would you hide my gun?" serves as a metaphor for asking a romantic partner whether they would protect him in a hypothetical scenario involving crime and consequence.
  • Released on August 16, 2024 as part of Post Malone's country debut, F-1 Trillion, the track blends Post Malone's signature vocal style and Hardy's gritty country influence. Hardy's contributions to the album don't stop there; he also co-wrote another track, "Missin' You Like This," featuring Luke Combs.
  • Working with Post Malone, Hardy got a firsthand lesson in adapting to different creative schedules. Speaking on the Zach Sang Show, Hardy explained how unlike Nashville's usual daytime songwriting sessions, Malone preferred to start writing at 6 p.m. and continue until 6 a.m. Hardy had to adjust his own sleep schedule just to keep up, joking that he would end up feeling "jet-lagged" for days. Despite the unconventional hours, Hardy was impressed by Malone's commitment to immersing himself fully in the Nashville songwriting culture, choosing to write with lesser-known but highly respected songwriters rather than just big names.
