GRAMMY® Award-nominated 8x diamond-certified artist Post Malone returns with a brand new single entitled Chemical via Mercury Records/Republic Records.

Chemical signals the dawn of Post Malone’s next era while he assembles his upcoming fifth full-length offering and one of the most anticipated albums of 2023.

The single is the first solo music from the Syracuse-born star since his fourth studio album ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’ from 2022. A spokesman said that the song “signals the dawn of Post Malone’s next era while he assembles his upcoming fifth full-length offering and one of the most anticipated albums of 2023.

Chemical shows a departure in sound for the rapper, leaning on his love dreamy alt pop. The guitar-driven track plays heavily on nostalgia, guitar-driven sounds and Malone’s singing chops.

The song appears to deal with the theme of being trapped in an on-and-off relationship. Malone sings, “I ain’t tryna find fate, it’s too late to save face / I can’t get away, maybe there’s no mistakes.”

Its accompanying music video sees the 27-year-old, alone, in two scenarios; posing in front of various backdrops in a mock photoshoot and in a car smoking.
