"Wow" (stylized as "Wow.") is a song by American rapper Post Malone, released as a single via Republic Records on December 24, 2018.[2] The song was produced by Frank Dukes and Louis Bell.

Promotion

Post Malone stated earlier in December that he wished to release another "body of work" before the year was over; his previous single was "Sunflower" with Swae Lee, the lead single from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack.[2]

Critical reception

HipHop-N-More stated that the song felt like "more than just a throwaway", saying it "could be another big moment for Post on the charts and radio".[3] NME called it one of Post Malone's "most stripped back recordings to date", saying his rapping over a beat is a "stark contrast" to his previous Autotuned vocals and "heavily produced" music.[4] Billboard magazine said the song "bounces along on a tick-tock beat and deep bass thrum", further describing the song as a chronicle of Post's rise to fame.[5]

Commercial performance

"Wow" debuted at number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100. In its third week, it moved up to number 11 before ascending to the top 10, where it peaked at number seven.[6]
