“Lil Nas X – Old Town Road (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) [Remix]” is a song that combines hip-hop and country music. It is sung by Lil Nas X, a young rapper from Atlanta, and Billy Ray Cyrus, a veteran country singer.
The song became popular on the internet, especially on the app TikTok, where people made videos of themselves dancing to it. The song also broke the record for the longest-running number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, staying there for 19 weeks.
The song was removed from the Billboard country chart because it did not fit the genre's criteria. This sparked a debate about the definition of country music and the role of race and culture in the music industry. Many artists and fans supported Lil Nas X and his song, saying that it was innovative and inclusive.
The original song was released by Lil Nas X in December 2018. He later invited Billy Ray Cyrus to join him for a remix, which was released in April 2019. The remix boosted the song's popularity and gave it more country credibility. There are also other versions of the remix, featuring artists like Young Thug, Mason Ramsey, Diplo, and RM from BTS.
The song has a catchy melody and a simple beat, using a sample from a Nine Inch Nails song. The lyrics are about riding a horse on an old town road and living a free and adventurous life. The song also uses some humor and references to modern culture, such as Gucci, Maserati, and Fendi.
