This sounds better while watching the video if that makes sense. This is way better than yes, and? However, he isn't beating Ariana.

He "dragged" Madonna and Lady Gaga by saying "with all due respect IDGAF what they did"? That's hardly a drag. No one HAS to care what another artist does/did and being honest doesn't mean it's a jab. They incorporated blasphemy into their work before he did and paved the way for him to do it.
And?

I feel like I always like a part of his songs, but the whole thing never fully works. Enjoy the hook, the rest I don't find particularly compelling.

Not bad but it does sound very 2021ish.. Is there a huge difference in 2-2.5 years ago to now in production really? Legit just wondering

They basically just wanna say it sounds straight out of his last album. Which is usually fine? His last album was good.
But I do agree with most people that he really should have done something a little more different.

I like this a lot on first listen! The chorus is an earworm.

The chorus is good and it’s a decent song but something about this feels very ‘been there, done that’ for Lil Nas X. Like others said, a few years ago this would've sounded fresh, but in 2024 it feels dated. I wish Lil Nas X would’ve experimented with new sounds but I’ll still listen to this, hoping it grows on me more. He’s the biggest troll in the industry, but it’s impossible for me to not root for him. Here’s to hoping he has more varied sounds/genres on the album.

A few of those sounds are coming back. I feel that the singles from MONTERO had some sort of longevity throughout these past years, so I definitely get the "same sound" crowd.

Lil Nas X is such the troll. According to iHeart's notification team, the song wasn't called J Christ AT ALL!! /j

I was told in this thread that I’m “insane” for predicting this might miss a top 10 debut. Inch-resting

People have been putting blasphemy into their art centuries before Madonna and Gaga. Like, there's entire high level university courses about the subject.

It's insanely catchy, but I think the antics might have actually over-shadowed the song a bit. Also, it does sound like it could have been on the last album.

It's very catchy, can definitely see it getting stuck in my head. The video is great visually as well.

It seems to be a glitch. No way in hell is he not charting on Apple Music with a brand new hyped release.

My first thought about the impersonaters is that real Mariah NEVER lets her roots grow out like that, LMFAO Mariah is offended she is not a chubby white girl 😔

I wouldn't be surprised if this did as well or worse than Single Soon. I do enjoy it, and the video a lot, but there is no hook

53 on Spotify is shocking. How is this flopping so hard? Where did his hype go? Man just had a string of smash hits.
