Post Malone debuted an unreleased song during his performance at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.Hosted by country icon Reba McEntire, this year’s ACM Awards were held at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas on Thursday (May 16).Posty performed two songs – debuting a currently unreleased song that will presumably appear on his forthcoming country album.

The song seems to be about a fleeting relationship as he sings in the refrain: “It’s a long lost highway / And this road ain’t my friend / I will love you ’til tomorrow / And I’ll never love you again.” At the end, Posty said, “No one had ever heard the song before”.He then launched into a rendition of ‘I Had Some Help’.

This song originally featured country megastar Morgan Wallen, but the singer did not join Malone for his first-ever ACMAs performance.
