I think the timing is perfect and I agree this won’t impact “Industry Baby’s” run at all. This is the perfect type of pop song to have blowing up on the radio during the 4th quarter. And it’s even better to get an early start because by December we will be having to deal with Christmas music (maybe even his own “Holiday”?) so let’s start racking up the radio points from now.

I absolutely love the song.
Not to get sentimental, but I think back 12 years ago (the reason I joined pulse) when Adam Lambert dropped "For Your Entertainment" in 2009 how revolutionary it felt. I was 19 years old, here was an artist representing the queer community. It was a monumental moment, and I felt seen by mainstream America for the first time (in my generation). Then I remember him kissing a guy on the AMA stage (iconic to me at the time) and subsequently watching his mainstream support basically abandon him for that. It was a sad reminder that, at that time, the prevailing thought by most of the country was "I don't care if you're gay, just don't show me you're gay".
Sometimes I don't realize how far we have come. To now see Lil Nas X with #1 songs, showcasing sex, love, sexual identity and being unequivocally in your face with it is not only amazing, but to see it EMBRACED BY MAINSTREAM AMERICA, is everything. EVERYTHING. I can only imagine being in my teenage years / early 20's right now with somebody like him to look up to.
For the record, I don't give a lot of credit to the music industry for this either. LNX created his hit song and made room for himself in this industry after "coming out" to the general public. By doing so, and it succeeding, record labels / radio / tv producers seem more on board, but they weren't going to take that chance a few years ago still.

The song is pretty basic but the melody is absolutely killer and his delivery is what really makes it.
It’s such a simple subject that’s been done thousands of times but from the queer lens, it’s somewhat intensified and I think we’ve all been there. Finding love (or even just a short term relationship or basic affection really) looks so easy to everyone else but when you’re first emerging as an out gay person, it can feel impossible to find what it seems like everyone else has. When I first heard this the other week and hearing him sing “that’s what I fucking want,” it totally took me back to that place where I remember thinking the exact same thing.
On paper, I wouldn’t have said I’d want something this straight-up pop from LNX but it’s one of my favourites on the album.

Side note- I love how unapologetic the lyric is “that’s what I f**king want”. It changes the whole energy of the song. It actually gives me a little Olivia Rodrigo vibes - that screaming, passionate emotive lyricism.

It sounds like “Hey Ya” which is early 2000s. But Avril Lavigne?!

it's the hook and how he delivers the line "that's what I f**king want." It has a light punk flare to me. I dunno. It just reminded me of her first era. That hook takes me back to that whole pop punk sound. I quite enjoy this song, btw. So the Avril thing is not a criticism.
