Chemical

“Chemical” is Post Malone’s first release of 2023. On the upbeat pop-rock tune, Posty struggles to cope with the end of a tumultuous, on-again-off-again relationship that he “can’t let go” of. He reminisces about the memories shared with a past lover and how life isn’t the same without her.
