I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen)

Post Malone's collaboration with Morgan Wallen in 'I Had Some Help' delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship where both parties are equally culpable. The song's narrative is built around the idea that neither partner can solely be blamed for the downfall of their relationship. The lyrics, 'You got a lot of nerve, don't you, baby? I only hit the curb 'cause you made me,' set the tone for a back-and-forth blame game, highlighting the mutual responsibility in their shared chaos.

The chorus, 'I had some help, it ain't like I can make this kinda mess all by myself,' underscores the theme of shared guilt. Both Post Malone and Morgan Wallen emphasize that their destructive behaviors were not solitary actions but rather a result of their combined efforts. The line 'Don't act like you ain't helped me pull that bottle off the shelf' metaphorically points to their mutual indulgence in vices, suggesting that their relationship's downfall was a collaborative effort.

The song also touches on the idea of hypocrisy and denial. Lines like 'You think that you're so innocent after all the shit you did' and 'I ain't an angel, you ain't heaven-sent' reveal the characters' awareness of their flaws and the futility of trying to appear blameless. The repeated use of 'help' in the song serves as a reminder that both individuals contributed to the relationship's demise, making it clear that it 'takes two to break a heart in two.' This duet not only showcases the vocal talents of both artists but also provides a raw and honest look at the complexities of shared responsibility in a failing relationship.
