@LilNasX.”

Lil Nax X explained to SiriusXM how he chose the song in particular.

“And I feel like, you know, the context to it, like completely changes as you just said, I was like, ‘Oh, that’d be really cool,'” he continued. “So I went for it. Hey, [I] have my history with country. So I was like, ah, this is perfect.”
