WATCH: Lil Nas X Shares Controversial Video for New Song ‘Montero’

Lil Nas X has delivered his first new tune of 2021, “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” and it shows up with a wild new music video. It shows Eve making out with the snake, a shaft artist enticing the demon, and a detainee shackled by individuals in Regency-period hairpieces. Almost everybody depicted just there is depicted in the visual by Lil Nas X.

The song was produced by Take A Daytrip, Omer Fedi and Roy Enzo. Lil Nas X shared the below statement about the video addressed to himself at age 14.

Dear 14-year-old Montero, I wrote a song with our name in it. It’s about a guy I met last summer. I know we promised to never come out publicly, I know we promised to never be “that” type of gay person, I know we promised to die with the secret, but this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist. You see this is very scary for me, people will be angry, they will say I’m pushing an agenda. But the truth is, I am. The agenda to make people stay the fuck out of other people’s lives and stop dictating who they should be. Sending you love from the future.

“MONNTERO” is Lil Nas X’s first single since a year ago’s “Vacation.” Lil Nas X has expressed his presentation collection will be delivered for this present year. “I figure individuals should realize that 2021 will be quite a year for me,” he told Complex late a year ago. “Musically, yet in each way.” At the start of 2021, his hit tune “Old Town Road” went Platinum for the fourteenth time, breaking an RIAA record.
