"Guy For That" is a collaboration between Post Malone and country star Luke Combs. The two trade verses about having amassed a network of fellas for almost any situation, whether it's resoling boots, rebinding bibles or fixing a car. The one thing they're lacking is someone who can help when it comes to mending a broken relationship. It's a song about being handy with a wrench but hopeless with a heart. Malone and Combs first teased "Guy For That" in February 2024, but the song was shelved until July 26, 2024 when it was released as the third single from Malone's first country album, F-1 Trillion. "Guy For That" was Malone's third collaboration with a country artist, following the Morgan Wallen hit "I Had Some Help" and the Blake Shelton duet "Pour Me A Drink." For Luke Combs, the song marks his second hook-up with an artist outside of country music, following British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran's "Life Goes On." Malone and Combs wrote the song with regular Morgan Wallen collaborator Ernest and with James McNair, who has co-penned several of Luke Combs' hits, including "Lovin' On You" and "Going, Going, Gone." Post Malone's go-to producer, Louis Bell, teamed up with Charlie Handsome and Hoskins to create this high-octane number. The same trio cooked up "I Had Some Help." The musicians are: Derek Wells: acoustic guitar, electric guitar Craig Young: bass guitar Paul Franklin: steel guitar Dave Cohen: keyboards Larry Franklin: fiddle Aaron Sterling: drums Wes Hightower: background vocals Post Malone and Luke Combs pulled off a bonkers stunt for their "Guy For That" video. They found themselves trapped in portable toilets on the back of a truck, careening through the heart of Nashville. The two stars decided to surprise folks with an impromptu performance of the song on the truck bed. Rather than roping off a filming location, director Chris Villa opted to film onlookers' natural reactions to their unexpected parade. Villa is the same guy who brought us the "I Had Some Help" and "Pour Me a Drink" visuals.

I got a guy designin' my rifle
My mama's new boyfriend re-binds Bibles
Ricky down the road, he re-souls Red Wings, hell
I got a guy for every damn thing
Oh, that ain't exactly what I'm lookin' for
'Cause I'm lookin' for

Someone to put her tires back into drive
And if they don't, then I just might
Lose what's left of my never lovin' mind
I'm damn near down, to my last dime
I'm pretty good at breakin' down a heart
But pickin' up the pieces is the hard part
She's searchin' for someone who's gonna build it back
But I ain't got a guy for that

Ain't got a guy for that
Ain't got a guy for that
Ain't got a guy for that

Know a VIP up at MIT
And he still won't let me fly the time machine
Someone to turn back the hands on my new AP
But, buddy, what I really need

Is someone to put her tires back into drive
And if they don't, then I just might
Lose what's left of my never lovin' mind
I'm damn near down, to my last dime
I'm pretty good at breakin' down a heart
But pickin' up the pieces is the hard part
She's searchin' for someone who's gonna build it back
But I ain't got a guy for that

Ain't got a guy for that
Ain't got a guy for that (guy for that)
Ain't got a guy
I ain't got a guy for that
Ain't got a guy for that
Ain't got a guy for that (guy for that)
Ain't got a guy
I ain't got a guy for that
