Lil Nas X recently revealed he’s gearing up for a huge comeback in 2024, and his new music is just around the corner. The Grammy-winning rapper said he’s going to have “the greatest comeback of all time” when he drops a brand-new single next week.

Lil Nas X teased the release of an untitled single, set to hit the shelves on January 12, with a series of posts on social media. He told his rappers that he loves “this constant cycle the world has with [him]”, adding that his next single will prove his naysayers wrong.

“When I started making music, y’all told me I was just another Twitter rapper. Then I made the biggest song of all time. Y’all called me one hit wonder. Then I dropped one of the most streamed albums of the year with 3 top 5 hits… At some point y’all realize I’m god’s favorite,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

This isn’t the first new piece of information that Lil Nas X shared about new music. Just last week, he revealed that he wrote and directed his own music video for the first time and promised he’ll “go bigger than before”. This upcoming single will mark his first release since 2022, but the Long Live Montero Tour has been keeping him pretty busy ever since.
