Following the release of the cover art, Columbia Records confirmed the release date.
The upcoming album includes the hit songs, “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” “Industry Baby” and “Sun Goes Down.”
Earlier this week, Lil Nas X shared the release date on Twitter, along with a message about the creation of the album.
He explained that “creating this album has been therapy for me. i’ve learned to let go of trying to control people’s perception of who i am, what i can do, and where i will be. i’ve realized the only open for me that really matters is my own.”
Fans can pre-order and pre-save the album ahead of its scheduled release date.
