It Only Took 24 Minutes To Write “I Had Some Help”
January 23, 2026 4:20 amErnest dropped a wild songwriting story while chatting on “The Net Positive Podcast” with John Crist.
He said Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s smash-hit “I Had Some Help” took just 24 minutes to write.
The song debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for six weeks.
“If we’re all honest with ourselves and we’re all good creatives, the best songs don’t take long. There’s a 24-minute voice note of ‘I Had Some Help’ from start to finish.”
That same night, Morgan and Post recorded their parts on the demo. And then on their way to the bar, they drove around blasting it. He said they knew immediately they had something special.
