"Chemical" kicked off the rollout for Austin, Post Malone's fifth studio album, arriving in 2023 on Republic and Mercury as its lead single. Malone produced it with Andrew Watt and Louis Bell, and the three wrote it together with Billy Walsh. A week later it was also tacked on as the closing track of The Diamond Collection, the compilation celebrating Malone as the artist with more RIAA diamond-certified singles than anyone.
The credits read like a garage-band hangout with a very good guest list. Malone plays guitar, drums and tambourine himself; Watt covers bass, electric guitar, keyboards and more drums; Bell sits at the piano and keys; and Mick Jagger, of all people, shakes the maracas. Mark "Spike" Stent mixed it into a bright, strummy pop-rock sprint.
