Lil Nas X began working on his debut album shortly after the 2019 release of Old Town Road.

The first single from the future release, entitled Montero (Call Me by Your Name), was made available to the public this past March, and its music video generated controversy for its content.

The track was followed by the debut of two further singles, Sun Goes Down and Industry Baby, which premiered in May and July, respectively.

Montero will feature appearances from numerous guest artists, many of whom were named in the promotional video.

The rapper’s debut studio album is currently scheduled to be made available to the public on Friday.
