Lil Nas X – MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)

Lil Nas X, the rapper behind the viral hit “Old Town Road”, has released a new song called “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)”. The song is a personal and provocative expression of his sexuality and identity. The title refers to his real name, Montero Lamar Hill, and the 2017 film “Call Me By Your Name”, which tells the story of a gay romance.

The song has catchy lyrics and a pop-trap beat, but it also has a deeper meaning. Lil Nas X wrote the song after meeting a guy he liked and spending a day with him. He also dedicated the song to his 14-year-old self, who was struggling with his sexuality and acceptance. The song is about being honest and proud of who you are, and not hiding your feelings.

The song also has a controversial and creative music video, which has over 500 million views on YouTube. The video shows Lil Nas X in various scenes inspired by mythology, religion, and art. He slides down a pole to hell, where he dances and seduces the devil. He then kills the devil and takes his crown. The video is a metaphor for his journey of self-discovery and liberation from shame and judgment.

The song and the video have received mixed reactions from the public. Some people have praised Lil Nas X for his artistic vision and courage, while others have criticized him for being blasphemous and inappropriate. Lil Nas X has responded to the backlash by defending his work and expressing his pride. He has also collaborated with a company called MSCHF to create a limited edition of Nike shoes, called the “Satan Shoes”, which have a drop of human blood in them. The shoes sold out in less than a minute and caused a lawsuit from Nike.

“MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” is a bold and groundbreaking song that showcases Lil Nas X's talent and personality. It is a song that challenges the norms and celebrates diversity and freedom. It is a song that calls people by their names and invites them to do the same.
