  • Songwriting and Inspiration: Post Malone often draws inspiration from his personal experiences, emotions, and the world around him. His songwriting process can start with a concept, a feeling, or a particular lyric. The thematic content of his songs varies, ranging from love and heartbreak to fame and lifestyle. He usually finds inspiration on the toilet of all places, and uses his digital notebook to jot down ideas.

These collaborations can lead to the fusion of different ideas and styles, contributing to the distinctive sound of his music.

  • Laying Down Vocals: Once the basic structure of the song is in place, Malone records his vocals. Known for his distinctive vocal style, he often uses techniques like auto-tune and layering to create a unique sound. His laid-back, almost slurred vocal delivery is a signature aspect of his music.

  • Mixing and Mastering: After the recording is complete, the song goes through mixing and mastering. This is where the levels are balanced, effects are added or tweaked, and the track is polished to achieve the final sound. Post Malone is known to use high level engineers such as Mike Bozzi and Illangelo to do this work for him.

  • Feedback and Revisions: Throughout the process, Post Malone may seek feedback from his team or other trusted individuals. Based on this feedback, he might make revisions to the song, adjusting lyrics, melodies, or production elements.
