"But excited, I'm excited. It's just fun and super epic to be able to go out there and sing a song so many beautiful artists have sang before on this stage," Malone said about performing at the Super Bowl in a recent interview with Apple Music.
"I'm just going to do my best, just do my best, and give it what I got," he continued of the big moment. "My dad told me, 'You'll never make everybody happy. So just be yourself and do your best at everything you do.' Do it your way and do it with love."

Despite the criticism he may face, Malone has been stepping up to the plate to perform for audiences since he was 16 years old. "I remember the first time I got drunk at [my friend] Drew’s house and they had a guitar, so I got out my guitar and started singing because I was hammered," he told Howard Stern in 2022. "I played … 'Wicked Games' by the Weeknd … [and] they were like, ‘This is really good. This is actually good.'"
“There was a point in my life to where I was not happy with who I was, and I was a f------ t--- and I sucked, and now I just want to be better every f------ day,” Malone explained. “All we can do is just don’t be a d-------, that’s the golden rule.”
