Lil Nas X Drops “Light Again” Despite Label’s Concerns

In a bold move, Lil Nas X surprised fans on Friday with the unexpected release of his latest track, “Light Again,” on SoundCloud. The fun-filled song, produced by Take A Daytrip, showcases Lil Nas X’s signature blend of rap and singing, set against an infectious house beat.

Taking to TikTok to share the news, Lil Nas X joked about the potential repercussions from his label, Columbia, for releasing the song without their permission. “Ngl might get in trouble for releasing this song without [my] label’s permission but anyway,” he wrote, followed by a playful apology to Columbia.

The track itself is a testament to Lil Nas X’s versatility as an artist, with witty lyrics and catchy hooks that are sure to get fans dancing. In one standout verse, he confidently boasts, “I’m way too toned, let me tone down/My dick too big, so I’m cocky, hit him from the back while I’m twiddlin’ with my phone out/Got an M&M deal but I’m Hershey/6’2″ dark skin n— with a purpose.”

Christ,” which sparked conversation with its provocative cover art featuring the artist nailed to a cross.
