Lainey Wilson is looking like country's hardest working woman. In addition to all of her various side projects, she's frequently in the studio. Some of these sessions run deep into the night. This is the case when she collaborated with Post Malone for their duet "Nosedive" and his Dolly Parton collaboration.

Recently, Lainey appeared on an episode of the Artist Friendly with Joel Madden podcast. There, she gets candid about her upbringing and trying to break into Nashville. Additionally, she's also talking about working with country's newest import Post Malone. Wilson found herself quickly in awe of Malone's raw talent and how he treated others.
"I loved every second of it, and I love him. We've become great friends. What I noticed about him is, even the people who are coming into the studio and taking the trash out and whatever, like, he treated them just like he treated the guy that was running the sound board," Lainey says.
"And I'm like, he's good people... I'm so proud that he's part of country music. You could quiz him and be like, who wrote that song back in 1951, and how would know it... he seems very excited to be a part of it, and I'm proud he is too because I think he's going to introduce a lot of people to country music," Lainey continues.

Then, Wilson details just how giddy Post was in making his album F-1 Trillion. Moreover, she says their session together ran for several hours.
"Even when he was playing me the songs, telling my about the songs, he and Morgan and Luke Combs, they had all written that past week, he was like a little kid," Lainey says. How excited he was about it, you could tell that it got him fired up, and I had never been in the studio with him when he was playing other kinds of music, but there was something about it that I was like, this is pretty cool. We wrote, Lord, I think we wrote 12 hours, that was the first night write I had ever done... was like this is some rockstar stuff I guess, this is how they do it. I'm tired."
Madden promptly asks Lainey if she remembers when she left the studio that day. Apparently, it's early enough where the fast food spots aren't even open yet. "Probably 5 o'clock in the morning," Wilson says. "I was like, shoot, I'm gonna hit up that McDonald's, and then I got there and I realized they weren't even open yet."
