On Friday (Nov. 15), the rapper unveiled his new single “Light Again,” which comes off of his recently announced sophomore album, Dreamboy. Throughout the pounding, house-inspired new song, Lil Nas looks back on his abrupt rise to the top of pop dominance, and vows to bring himself up to new creative heights.

The track arrives after Lil Nas X declared that he was entering his newest album era. In a series of posts shared throughout the week, the “Old Town Road” singer unveiled the name of his next project as Dreamboy and teased that he was “back and better” with his latest set of songs. Of course, his classic brand of online troll humor remained fully intact. Throughout a tongue-in-cheek trailer for his new project, Lil Nas is visited by the titular Dreamboy to remind him of who he is: “A fa—t,” he declares.

At the start of 2024, Lil Nas X declared his return to pop with “J Christ,” a controversial pop-rap track that saw the singer dunking on anti-LGBTQ Christians throughout the rollout. The star also shared two other one-off solo singles this year — “Where Do We Go Now?” from his HBO documentary Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero and “Here We Go” from Netflix’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F — while also jumping on a pair of collaborations with Kevin Abstract (“Tennessee”) and Camila Cabello (“He Knows”).
