“I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song #Jolene, she said. “I had to find it and listen to it immediately… and it’s really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I’m honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you
@LilNasX.”

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

“We originally were going to do a Nirvana song and then we were kind of goofing around and you know, like doing ‘Jolene,’ it was like, wait a minute. What if we actually did ‘Jolene’?” he said.

“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.”
