Lil Nas X is keeping fans fed. Earlier this month, the hitmaker and provocateur made an epic comeback with his buzzy single “J Christ” — the video of which depicts him being crucified and making an ascension into heaven. But it appears his next single will be a bit more personal.

Today (January 23), Lil Nas X announced his upcoming single, “Where Do We Go Now?”

The song is set to arrive this Friday (January 26), as Lil Nas X revealed on his social media accounts.

“im dropping new music to match with your depression,” he said in the post’s caption.

There’s not much context regarding the subject matter thus far, however, the song’s artwork sees a drawing of Lil Nas X standing in a lush, green field, and holding hands with what looks like a younger version of himself. So, it’s likely that the song will showcase Lil Nas X’s more introspective side.

If it’s anything like his Montero cuts “Dead Right Now” and “Sun Goes Down,” fans are certainly in for a ballad that will tug at the heartstrings.

“Where Do We Go Now?” arrives in tandem with Lil Nas X’s documentary, Long Live Montero, which is set to premiere on Saturday, January 27 on Max.

Lil Nas X Continued Teasing His Second Album, And Revealed He Wrote And Directed His New Music Video

Lil Nas X continues to tease his upcoming second album. Over the past month, the “That’s What I Want” hitmaker has taken to social media, sharing that he’s in his “Christian era,” but that won’t stop him from enjoying — um, certain activities. Earlier in the week, Lil Nas X launched a parody website teasing the album, modeled after those of Christian conspiracy theorists.

Today (December 27), Lil Nas X shared a more direct update on his impending new era, hinting that an upcoming music video from his album will have a personal touch to it.

“I wrote AND directed my own music video for the first time,” he tweeted, “excited for y’all to see. it’s the best one yet!”

The singer/rapper has remained fairly mum about the album. But earlier this year, Lil Nas X teased the album in an interview with Vogue, noting that he is changing up a lot of things — including his sound, his wardrobe, and his aesthetic.

“I’m working steady,” he said. “I’m in this next phase of figuring out who this next person is for me. I’m not going out in the same clothes as my last era, or the one before that. I’m figuring that out, and learning to trust my own instincts.”

Lil Nas X Teased His New Era With A Hilarious Parody Site Calling To ‘Save’ Him From Satantism

A new era of Lil Nas X may soon be upon us. Earlier this month, the “Industry Baby” hitmaker took to social media to tease his “Christian era.” Today (December 26), it appears a new website is signifying that new Lil Nas X music may be arriving sooner than we think.

A website called SaveNasX.com appeared in cyberspace today. On the website is a clock showing the number of days that have passed since his debut album Montero dropped in 2021. The site also seems to call back to the Montero era, when he was accused of practicing satanism.

In the video for Lil Nas X‘s “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” the pop star is seen dancing in hell and giving the devil a lapdance. The website, which is designed to parody those of Christian conspiracy theorists, calls for Lil Nas X to be “saved” and to repent and seek God.

“Has the DEVIL-WORSHIPPING pop-artist finally been sacrificed to HIS MASTER?,” reads a blurb on his site. “WHY is he SECLUDING HIMSELF???? What is he PREPARING FOR? This site will answer ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE!!!… We will find Montero, and WE WILL SAVE HIM BY RETURNING HIS HEART TO J.CHRIST’S LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Also on the website is a form where fans can register to “save” Lil Nas X (or, receive updates from his newsletter).

At the bottom of the site is a copyright sticker from Sony Music Entertainment, indicating that the site is run by Lil Nas X’s official camp.
