Lil Nas X Returns with New Song “World’s Greatest”

The six-minute “World’s Greatest” video was directed by Phillip Youmans and shot in Lil Nas’ hometown of Atlanta. It opens in a dance studio, where the “Old Town Road” singer is rehearsing stage choreography.

His dance trainer tells him, “You keep doing the same thing. You know what the problem is; you’re just not fixing it.” From there, more present-day footage is intercut with dramatized scenes from Lil Nas’ childhood.

O vídeo termina com uma dedicatória à sua falecida mãe, Tamikia Hill. Assista abaixo.

Last year, Lil Nas pled not guilty to the three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer, and faced a five-year prison sentence.

In April, a judge ruled to dismiss the felony battery charges against him if he agreed to a mandated two-year treatment program. The judge noted that the decision to offer dismissal was influenced by Lil Nas’ diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Antes de sua prisão, Lil Nas havia divulgado uma série de singles únicos, incluindo a co‑produção de Thomas Bangalter “Light Again!" Ele lançou seu primeiro (e até agora, único) álbum de estúdio, Montero, em 2021.
