In a touching moment ahead of his new music video, Lil Nas X, renowned for his chart-topping hit “Old Town Road,” shared a heartfelt letter addressed to his younger self on Twitter. The letter coincides with the release of his latest single, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” It’s poignant, considering his real name is Montero Lamar Hill. The song and its accompanying visuals explore profound themes that extend beyond its title.
“Dear 14-year-old Montero, I wrote a song with our name in it,” the letter starts. He reflects on past promises of never publicly coming out and hiding aspects of his identity. “This will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist,” he writes, emphasizing the importance of authenticity.
The music video for “Montero” is vividly queer, showcasing stunning visuals and tackling themes of Christianity in a bold manner. One of the standout moments is a provocative lap dance with Satan, which is sure to spark conversations and debates. The video opens with Lil Nas X’s voiceover, echoing the sentiments of his letter: “We hide the parts of ourselves we don’t want the world to see. We lock them away. We tell them ‘no.’ But, here? We don’t.”
In the video, he portrays both Adam and the serpent, and in a dramatic scene, he faces execution in an arena before descending into hell via a stripper pole—an audacious entrance, to say the least. Embracing his true self, he seduces the devil, challenging societal norms without fear of judgment.
The video is not just visually captivating; it is also likely to provoke reactions from conservative audiences, reminiscent of the discussions sparked by “W.A.P.” Lil Nas X’s letter encapsulates the essence of his performance, highlighting the fears of backlash while also championing freedom of expression. “The agenda is to make people stay the fuck out of other people’s lives,” he concludes, sending love from the future.
