Coming off the controversy caused by his daring video for the No. 1 hit song “Montero,” hip-hop star Lil Nas X has dropped a new visual for his single “Sun Goes Down.”
“Montero” divided the public with images such as Lil Nas X giving the Devil a lap dance. He also ruffled feathers and raised eyebrows by releasing limited edition “Satan Shoes” to promote the song that contained a drop of human blood inside.
“Sun Goes Down” shouldn’t spark any scandals. The video features more relatable themes of teenage insecurity, mental health and non-acceptance. The Grammy-winning artist travels back in time to visit himself in high school, first at his part-time job at Taco Bell and then on an emotional prom night.
“Sun Goes Down” was released just ahead of Lil Nas X’s highly-anticipated appearance on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, where he’s expected to perform “Montero” as well as his new single.
