He's finally set a release date for his eagerly-anticipated, Call My By Your Name single.

A post shared by Lil Nas X (@lilnasx) Lil Nas X has finally set a release date for his next single. Fans will know that he started teasing the track, Call Me By Your Name, last July. Some hoped it would be released last year as Lil Nas Xs first new material since his 7 EP (which included the chart-devouring Old Town Road). Instead, he surprised many by instead dropping the seasonal Holiday for the festive period. The performer, who came out as gay while Old Town Road was at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019, continued to tease Call Me By Your Name with a brief snippet used during a Superbowl commercial in early February.
