Smith, Josh Thompson, and Ryan Vojtseak.
Critical reception
Owen Myers of 'Pitchfork' stated that the song is "a blend of trap snares and guitar twang that isnt quite as fluid as the country/hip-hop hybrids of, say, Sam Hunt|[Sam] Hunt." Pip Ellwood-Hughes thought that the song had a "modern" sound, contrasting it with Wallen's collaboration with Diplo on "Heartless".
Chart performance
"Wasted on You" debuted at number one on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs charts dated for the week ending January 23, 2021 alongside the album tracks "Somebody's Problem", "Warning", and "Sand in My Boots" and the singles "7 Summers" and "More Than My Hometown". In doing so, Wallen became the first artist ever to chart six songs within the top 10 of Hot Country Songs at the same time.

Furthermore, it was Wallen's second debut at the top, making him the first artist to have multiple songs debut at number one on the country chart.
