Post Malone gave the world an early taste of "Rockstar" on Christmas Eve 2016, posting a clip of himself playing it in the studio on Twitter, but the finished track, with 21 Savage riding shotgun, arrived on September 15, 2017, when Republic released it as the lead single from his second album, Beerbongs & Bentleys. Louis Bell and Tank God produced it, the writing credit also takes in Carl Rosen and Joey Bada$$, and Manny Marroquin mixed it into woozy, low-slung trap.
Critics were split, the public wasn't. It went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in places from Australia and Canada to the UK, the first number one in those countries for both Post Malone and 21 Savage and the biggest hit either had scored. Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Performance followed.
