Debuting “Yours,” from his new LP F-1 Trillion, Post Malone becomes the latest in an ever-expanding collection of Country musicians who sing about dads watching their daughters getting married.
Following in the footsteps of such music icons as Hank Hill who said “feeling emotions” constitute a mini-genre, from Heartland’s “I Loved Her First” to Alan Jackson‘s “You’ll Always Be My Baby,” Malone revealed the new single during his Bud Light-sponsored performance at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works Tuesday night (7.16.)
Preempting ‘Yours’ the superstar singer/songwriter admitted that he might be getting ahead of himself when telling the audience, “I wrote this song about my daughter getting married.” “I got a two-year-old, and we got a long time to go.”
Clearly the most sentimental composition of his thus far, illustrious career, Malone spent the whole song addressing his daughter’s future spouse, singing “It’s gonna break my heart when she gives hers to you… She might be your better half, but she’s my everything/ We’ll both love her forever/ but I loved her long before/One day I know I’ll give her away/ Buddy, that don’t mean she’s yours.”
Elsewhere in the show, Malone sang with Blake Shelton on their single “Pour Me a Drink,” joined Sierra Ferrell for a cover version of Johnny Cash and June Carter’s “Jackson,” played another track from his upcoming album, “Would You Hide My Gun,” with Hardy, and “I Had Some Help,” a duet with Morgan Wallen.
Effective September 8, Post Malone will go on tour in support of his new forthcoming full length.
