Lil Nas X Says Upcoming Single Is the ‘Best Song of All Time’: ‘I’m Coming Around to Myself Again’
Lil Nas X is starting to feel better about his creative process, and the 25-year-old star shared his feelings of positivity in a new Instagram post promoting his upcoming single “Here We Go!,” which arrives on Friday (June 28).
“so excited to release the best song of all time this friday! also sorry I’ve been so scared with my art lately. I’m coming around to myself again. I will make you guys very proud,” he wrote alongside the single’s cover art, which features a detective’s badge with Lil Nas X’s photo inside. See the post here.
Nas’ “He Knows” collaborator, Camila Cabello, shared support for her pal in the comments, writing, “nature has seasons and so do we. there is no spring without winter. it’s your time to bloom baby!!!”
“Here We Go!,” which samples Axel F’s 2005 hit, “Crazy Frog,” will serve as an original song for the Eddie Murphy-led film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which arrives on Netflix July 3. The news comes a few weeks after the streaming platform unveiled the trailer for Axel F, which is directed by Mark Molloy and serves as the fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Murphy first played the titular Detroit detective Alex Foley in 1984, and last filled his shoes in 1994’s Beverly Hills Cop III.
“Here We Go!” will mark the Lil Nas’ first solo release since “Where Do We Go Now?,” which appeared in his 2023 documentary Long Live Montero. He also recently teamed up with Camila Cabello on the single “He Knows,” which followed his duet “Tennessee” with Kevin Abstract.
