Track DescriptionAvailable in:
Rockstar" (stylized as "rockstar") is a song by American rapper Post Malone. It was released on September 15, 2017, by Republic Records as the lead single from his second studio album Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018). The track features a guest verse from fellow American rapper 21 Savage. It was written by Post Malone, 21 Savage, Louis Bell, Carl Austin Rosen, Joey Bada$$ and Olufunmibi Awoshiley, and produced by Tank God and Bell (who co-produced "Congratulations").
The track reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, and reached the top spot in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, Portugal, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and the United Kingdom. It became both Post Malone and 21 Savage's first number-one single in all the countries mentioned.
Post Malone posted a snippet of himself recording the track in the studio via Twitter on December 29, 2016. The song originally featured American artists T-Pain and Joey Badass, the latter who co-wrote the track but is uncredited.
The official music video, directed by Emil Nava, was released on Post Malone's Vevo YouTube channel on November 21, 2017.
"Emil Nava's videos don't usually begin with a Parental Advisory, but it's necessary here. They don't come much bloodier than his video for Post Malone's rockstar. As white-suited Malone unleashes his Samurai sword on his black-suited enemies, this is Kill Bill with lots more gore, refracted through a lens of wooziness. An ultraviolent video that pulls no punches in its pitch-black humour." (David Knight, Promonews)
