BigXthaPlug and Post Malone finally deliver on that Texas promise with Cold, the country-trap collab fans have been waiting on since studio pics leaked back in February, dropping this Friday, November 21, 2025, and it hits like a long-neck beer on ice, that brooding mix of heartbreak and hard living you feel in your chest.
These two Dallas boys linking up makes all the sense. BigX has been teasing Post since before his I Hope You’re Happy album in August, where the feature got held back because schedules clashed. Now it’s here as a standalone single, Post crooning that icy chorus about a heart built for running and burning paychecks on cold ones, while BigX comes in vulnerable, promising to walk through any weather for one more chance. The snippet’s got that perfect blend: twangy guitars under trap drums, Post’s signature drawl carrying the hook like it’s made for tailgates, BigX flipping his street flow into something real about growth and flaws. They filmed the video on a ranch with campfires and bonfires, keeping it raw Texas.
This feels like a natural follow-up for both. BigX just dipped deep into country with features from Luke Combs and Jelly Roll on his last project, proving the trap-to-honky-tonk lane works for him. Post wrapped his massive F-1 Trillion run and that stadium tour, but he’s clearly not done with the genre, especially with a Cowboys halftime show coming up Thanksgiving week. Cold could easily slot into a deluxe for BigX or just stand tall on its own, but either way, it’s that homegrown collab North Texas needed.
X blew up when Post posted the bonfire pic and snippet two days ago, folks calling it the winter anthem and already looping the chorus over truck videos. If their chemistry in the studio translated half as good as it sounds here, we’re in for something that sticks.
Dive into the Cold lyrics below and unpack its raw narrative. Don’t miss other BigXthaPlug tracks for more of his Texas heart.

Lyrics of Cold by BigXthaPlug & Post Malone
[Intro: Post Malone]
Mmm
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Hey, Don’t Tell Me You Want Me To Stay
My Heart’s Made For Runnin’ Away (Mmm)
I Don’t Know What Else I Could Say (Much Else To Say)
But I’m So Co-o-o-old
Like A Long Neck Burnin’ Through A Pay Check
Baby, I’m Co-o-o-old, So Cold (So Cold)
[Verse 1: Bigxthaplug]
Ayy, And I Hate When It’s Cold, It Remind Me I’m Alone
And That My Heart Is Made Of Stone, Plus I Could Never Say I’m Wrong
I Always Did Things On My Own But Yet I Never Set The Tone
And Since I Never Set The Tone, I Tend To Put It In These Songs
At The Age Of Twenty-one, This Life Got Wicked
Felt All I Ever Needed Was Love, But Now I Beg For [?]
Then Love Started To Fade The Very Moment I Got Richer
Like I Faded From The Pictures, All Because I Made Decision
And I Was Told That You Would Stick Around But Where You At?
They Also Told Me “Just Believe”, I Just Know That You Won’t Come Back
Feel Like I’m Chasin’ After Make-believe, Ran Laps Around This Track
A Thousand Miles Chasin’ For Love That I Just Know I Can’t Back, So Why You Tell Me That?
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Hey, Don’t Tell Me You Want Me To Stay
My Heart’s Made For Runnin’ Away (Run Away)
I Don’t Know What Else I Could Say (What Else To Say, What Else To Say)
But I’m Co-o-o-old
Like A Long Neck Burnin’ Through A Pay Check, Baby, I’m Co-o-o-old
So Cold (So Cold)
[Verse 2: Bigxthaplug]
Was Always Told That As This Shit Get Better, It Get Worse
Was Times I Could’ve Gave My All, But I Can Tell You, I’m Not Perfect
I’m Young And I’m Still Learnin’, So, Otherwise, I’m Still Workin’
Just To Be A Better Man, And That’s Gon’ Happen, That’s For Certain
’cause For Your Love, I’ll Fight, ’cause Now I Finally Found My Purpose
So Tired Of Tossin’, Turnin’, And Runnin’, My Heart Is Hurtin’
So Just Give Me This Chance, I Swear I’ll Try And Make It Better
I’ll Walk Through Any Webs To Just Have Us Here Together (Ayy)
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Hey, Don’t Tell Me You Want Me To Stay
My Heart’s Made For Runnin’ Away
I Don’t Know What Else I Could Say
But I’m Co-o-o-old
Like A Long Neck Burnin’ Through A Pay Check, Baby, I’m Co-o-o-old
So Cold
[Outro: Post Malone]
(Baby, I’m So Cold)
Don’t Tell Me You Want Me To Stay
My Heart’s Made For Runnin’ Away
Baby I’m So Co-o-o-old
Like A Long Neck Burnin’ Through A Pay Check, Baby, I’m Co-o-o-old
So Cold (So Cold)
So, So Cold (Mmm)
