The 26-year-old folk-pop singer, best known for his song “Stick Season,” has been rising on the music charts this year.
“The reaction to ‘Dial Drunk’ has been so incredible and so overwhelming. I never know when or why a song is going to land, and to see the meaning and connection you have drawn from this track has inspired me in a way I have never been inspired before,” Noah said in a statement. “You can only imagine my shock and excitement when Post told me he wanted to not only sing on it, but write his own verse. I have been listening to Post Malone since ‘White Iverson’ dropped, even covering ‘Congratulations’ right when my career was beginning. It feels like a full circle moment, and it has been a dream come true to make this collaboration happen. Thank you so much Post for blessing me with your involvement.”
Read the “Dial Drunk” lyrics below.
[Verse 1: Noah Kahan]
I’m rememberin’ I promised to forget you now
But it’s rainin’ and I’m callin’ drunk
And my medicine is drownin’ your perspective out
So I ain’t taking any fault
Am I honest still? Am I half the man I used to be?
I doubt it, forget about it, whatever
And the dial tone is all I have
[Chorus: Noah Kahan, Post Malone]
I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’ll die for you
I’ll die
[Verse 2: Post Malone, Noah Kahan & Post Malone]
Drinks pourin’, couldn’t stop it
Turn another slow dance into a mosh pit
Tuck my head, then I heard the lock, and
Told them that my first car was a Crown Vic
Talkin’ ’bout last time I was in the back of a cop car, I fell in love
And my face on the cold window try to sober back up and loosen my cuffs
And it’s all the same anyway
[Chorus: Noah Kahan & Post Malone, Post Malone, Noah Kahan]
Mm, I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’d die for you
Well, I’d die for you
[Bridge: Noah Kahan, Post Malone, Noah Kahan & Post Malone]
I beg you, sir, just let me call
I’ll give you my blood alcohol
I’ll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
I’ll change my faith, I’ll praise the flag
Let’s wait, I swear she’ll call me back
Oh, son, are you a danger to yourself?
Well, fuck that sir, just let me call
I’ll give you my blood alcohol (Ooh)
I’ll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
I’ll change my faith, I’ll kiss the badge
Let’s wait, I swear she’ll call me back (Ooh)
Son, why do you do this to yourself?
And I said
[Chorus: Noah Kahan & Post Malone, Post Malone, Noah Kahan]
“I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown, ah
In the name of someone I no longer know (I no longer know)
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio, ah
I don’t like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’d die for you”
