"Enemies" is a song by American rapper and singer Post Malone, featuring fellow American rapper DaBaby.[1] It was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio as the fourth single from Post Malone's third studio album, Hollywood's Bleeding on September 17, 2019.[2] The song was written by the artists, along with Billy Walsh and producer Louis Bell. The track became Malone's seventh number one (and his fourth from Hollywood's Bleeding) and DaBaby's first on Billboard's Rhythmic Songs Chart in November 2019.[3]

The song peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception[edit]

The song received acclaim mostly for DaBaby's guest appearance. Jayson Greene at Pitchfork praised DaBaby's guest verse on the song, noting that he "crushes his turn".[4] Writing for Vulture, Craig Jenkins thought that DaBaby even "stole the show" on the song and described his verse as a "passive-aggressive jab at backstabbing friends".[5] However, in a review of the song's parent album, Chris DeVille from Stereogum opined that DaBaby along with Meek Mill merely delivered "the requisite rap verse on a Top 40 single".[6] Rolling Stone's Nick Catucci pointed out how DaBaby's flow "highlights Post Malone's technical laxity as a rapper, but also his unerring instinct for what will cut through the ambient noise in the car, at the supermarket or during hour four of the frat party".[7]
