Post Malone is teasing a brand new country track — and he's got a very special collaborator in Blake Shelton.

On Thursday, May 23, the rapper/singer, 28, shared a post to Instagram featuring a short snippet of a song in the works from him and Shelton, 47. Malone could be seen in the studio as he bopped his head to the track and poured himself a drink.

The fun, upbeat-sounding track features lyrics about partying on a Friday night, with vocals from both the "Sunflower" musician Shelton.

"Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke," Malone and Shelton can be heard singing together.

"I'm 'bout to get on a buzz/I'm 'bout to get on a roll. I've been breaking my back, just keepin' up with the Joneses/Y'all know what I mean, y'all know how it goes," they continue.

In another X (formerly Twitter) post from Shelton, he can be seen watching the Malone's video and dancing along to the still-unnamed song as he sips on his own drink out of a plastic cup.

Lots of fan expressed their excitement for the upcoming collaboration the comments section of Malone's video — including No Doubt alum and music superstar Gwen Stefani (who is also Shelton's wife).

"Can't handle this much cool and cute!! Super fan alert!" she wrote in a comment.

This new song marks yet another track in Malone's recent transition from rap to country. Earlier this year, he and  Beyoncé made headlines when they paired up for an unlikely duet on her highly anticipated country record Cowboy Carter. Malone is featured on the track "LEVII'S JEANS", where he and Beyoncé sing about wishing they could be their partner's Levi jeans.

On May 10, Malone and Morgan Wallen released a country track "I Had Some Help" after teasing it on social media for weeks in advance.
