Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Use American English Vorlage:Infobox song

"Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" (stylized as "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)") is a song by American rapper and singer Lil Nas X. First previewed in a Super Bowl LV commercial in February 2021,[1][2] the song was released on March 26, 2021 through Columbia Records. Written by Lil Nas X along with its producers, Take a Daytrip, Omer Fedi, and Roy Lenzo,[3] the song is the title track from the upcoming album Montero, which is expected for release in mid-2021.[4][5][6]

"Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, giving Lil Nas X his second number-one hit on the chart after "Old Town Road". Elsewhere, the song topped the charts in Finland, the Republic of Ireland, Lithuania, Norway, and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten of the record charts in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Background

Lil Nas X originally played a snippet of the song (originally titled "Call Me by Your Name"[7]) in a Twitter video on July 9, 2020, as well as in the background of various TikTok videos, including one that was addressed to American rapper 6ix9ine.[8] It was featured in a Logitech commercial that aired during Super Bowl LV in February 2021.[1] On March 9, 2021, its release date was announced via Twitter, along with its cover.[9] The single cover was created by Spanish–Croatian artist Filip Ćustić and features Lil Nas X as both Adam and God in a reinterpretation of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.[10][11]

The song's cover art features Lil Nas X in a reinterpretation of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.

The song's title is taken from Lil Nas X's first name, while the subtitle is a reference to the 2017 LGBT-themed film of the same name.[12][13][14] André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name from which the film was adapted, expressed that he was grateful and humbled that Lil Nas X had written a song with the same name as his novel.[15] Lil Nas X later stated the film was one of the first queer movies he had ever seen which felt "very artsy" and made him interested in the concept of "calling somebody by your own name as lovers and trying to keep it between you two", inspiring him to write about it.[16]

On the day of the single's release, Lil Nas X shared an open letter to his 14-year-old self on Twitter, reflecting on his choice to come out at an early age and his nervousness about the song.[17][18] However, he ultimately says it "will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist" and expressed his desire to let people be who they are.[17]

Composition

The song, like many of Lil Nas X's past projects, features queer themes.[19] Renting out an Airbnb at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to work on his debut album, Lil Nas X revealed that it was written about a man he met in mid-2020, who was partying and taking drugs while in quarantine.[12][17] In its lyrics, Lil Nas X tells his lover he no longer wants to be on the down-low.[20] He sings about a trip to Hawaii and features the line "shoot a child in yo' mouth while I'm ridin'Vorlage:-", which was intended to help break the stigma around references to gay sexual practices in music.[12][17] Lil Nas X also revealed that the lyrics discuss the pressure he feels representing the LGBT community ("A sign of the times every time that I speak") and include a reference to the 19 weeks his single "Old Town Road" spent atop the Billboard Hot 100 ("A dime and a nine / It was mine every week").[21]

"Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" is a hip hop[22][23] and electropop[24][25] song with guitar and handclaps in syncopation.[26] Billboard described the track as a "flamenco-like track with a subtle trap beat",[27] while Consequence of Sound called it "flamenco and reggaeton dipped in pop".[28] Slate noted the song's "dembow-style rhythm" while the chorus was compared to technopop in the style of Gary Numan.[29] Lil Nas X's vocals in the second verse were likened to a cross between Juice Wrld and Iann Dior.[29] The humming section following the chorus was included as a sort of mating call.[21] A longer version, dubbed "Satan's extended version", adds an extra half-minute and features an additional iteration of the song's chorus as well as a longer outro.[30][31]

Release and promotion

The day before the single's release, Lil Nas X did an interview with Zane Lowe, saying "The world's going to keep spinning. But I can do what I want in my own artistic career at all times or I'm going to fail, for me at least."[17] Following its release, he launched a promotion on Twitter where he gave out $100,000 worth of Bitcoin.[11] He also offered $10,000 through a pole dancing challenge on the social media platform TikTok, with the hashtag #PoleDanceToHell.[32]

Another promotional tool was a collaboration with augmented reality mobile app Jadu, in which users can interact with a volumetric video-generated Lil Nas X wearing red angel wings.[33][34] In addition, a free browser game titled Twerk Hero was released, in which players control a virtual Lil Nas X twerking to "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)".[35] Developed by Roni Games using the Unreal Engine, the rhythm game has four levels, each accompanying a scene from the song's music video, and was noted for its jiggle physics.[36][37][38]

The original track and music video were released on March 26, 2021,[39] while an extended version was released on March 29.[30] In addition, Lil Nas X released a number of follow-up videos via his YouTube channel, including a muffled version (titled "MONTERO but ur in the bathroom of hell while lil nas is giving satan a lap dance in the other room") on March 28,[40] an instrumental version (subtitled "But Lil Nas X Is Silent The Entire Time") on March 31,[41] a behind-the-scenes look behind the song's recording process (subtitled "Official Video except its not the official video at all") on April 5,[42] and a lo-fi version (subtitled "but it’s lofi and something you can study to lol") on April 9.[43]

Satan Shoes

Vorlage:Further Tying into the music video's theme, Lil Nas X collaborated with art collective MSCHF Product Studio to create 666 individually numbered pairs of Nike Air Max 97 "Satan Shoes" adorned with pentagrams, inverted crosses, and the Bible verse Luke 10:18.[44][45][46] They also contain Vorlage:Cvt of ink mixed with one drop of blood from a member of the MSCHF team in the sole, which was collected over the course of a week.[47][48][49] The shoes, which were priced at $1,018 per pair and sold out in under a minute,[49] were compared to comic books by rock band Kiss and Marvel Comics that were printed using the band members' blood.[50] Nike, Inc. was not involved with the design or release of the shoes,[47][51] and later filed a lawsuit against MSCHF for trademark infringement and dilution.[52][53] In defense, MSCHF claimed that the shoes were meant to be a form of art for display and not to actually be worn. A U.S. District Court in New York approved of a temporary restraining order against MSCHF, thereby preventing further sales of the shoes, though they were already shipped to their buyers.[54][55] The lawsuit was eventually settled, with MSCHF issuing a voluntary product recall and buying back any Satan Shoes at their original price.[56]

Music video

Production

The music video for "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" was directed by Tanu Muino and Lil Nas X and was released alongside the single.[19] Shot over two days in February 2021,[57][58] it features Lil Nas X as various characters in biblical and mythology-inspired scenes.[19] While in Los Angeles, Ukrainian music video director Muino expressed her interest in working with Lil Nas X to Columbia Records; the label contacted her in late January 2021 while she was working on the music video for Cardi B's "Up".[59] She drew inspiration from Dante's Inferno and paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, including The Garden of Earthly Delights—a triptych depicting heavenly and hellish imagery and the Last Judgment.[59] It was Muino's first video as co-director, part of which was done remotely via Zoom after she had falsely tested positive for COVID-19.[59] Anthony H. Nguyen was responsible for the make-up in the video while the hairstyling was done by Evanie Frausto.[60] Visual effects for the music video were done by Mathematic, a French animation studio based in Paris, in a process that took seven weeks.[57] They opted for a video game-inspired look in order to spread a "message of tolerance".[57]

In an interview with Time, Lil Nas X revealed that inspiration for the video came from the animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants and the film Call Me by Your Name.[58] He also discussed the music video for "Cellophane" by FKA Twigs as an influence, stating, "I wanted to see some things people have done in music videos with the pole—and I felt like Twigs did a really amazing job at that... I wanted to do my own take on it."[58] Vulture reported that this was an homage to honor Twigs following her loss to Lil Nas X in the Grammy Award for Best Music Video category.[13] However, "Cellophane" director Andrew Thomas Huang posted a comparison of the two videos' visual similarities on Instagram, explaining that Lil Nas X's label had contacted him prior to the recording of the video to possibly direct it and had instead hired the same choreographer.[58][61] He further elaborated, "When someone who is commercially successful makes work that lives so similarly next to ours and profits from it on such a massive scale, then I felt like I had to speak up", but said he blamed record labels rather than Lil Nas X.[58] FKA Twigs and Lil Nas X later had a conversation regarding the comparison and praised each other's videos on Instagram.[62]

Synopsis

Following a voice-over introduction where Lil Nas X discusses no longer having to hide in shame, the music video starts with the singer portraying both Adam and the snake in the Garden of Eden.[14][17] The snake seduces Adam using its third eye and the two kiss.[14][17][27] The next scene features Lil Nas X in chains at the Colosseum as he is judged by versions of himself in Marie Antoinette wigs and stoned by spectators.[17][19][63] After he is killed by a thrown butt plug,[64][65] he starts to ascend toward an angelic figure in Heaven before grabbing onto a pole, which sends him down to Hell as he pole dances.[13][20] He makes his way over to Satan and proceeds to give him a lap dance wearing Calvin Klein underwear and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels.[14][17][20][66] After snapping Satan's neck, Lil Nas X crowns himself with the horns as his eyes glow and wings emerge.[17][63]

In addition to its biblical references and symbolism, the music video features a running theme of duality, including good vs. evil and masculinity vs. femininity.[14] A Greek quotation from Plato's Symposium is shown on the tree of life: "After the division the two parts of man, each desiring his other half".[14][17] The scene in the Colosseum was seen as a reference to the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate,[67] while the judges' costumes were inspired by the all-denim outfits worn by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in 2001.[59] The Latin phrase "" is written on the ground below Satan, which translates to "they condemn what they do not understand".[14] According to a press release accompanying the video, the final scene represents "dismantling the throne of judgement and punishment that has kept many of us from embracing our true selves out of fear."[14]

An analysis of the music video's symbolism by historians compared the snake figure to Lilith from Jewish mythology, who has often been depicted as a serpentine demon. The stoning scene saw Lil Nas X represented as a Christian martyr and the angelic figure was seen to represent Ganymede from Greek mythology, who is widely regarded as a symbol of homosexuality.[68]

Reception and controversy

Vorlage:Further The music video received praise for being "unabashedly queer".[19][66][69] VarietyVorlage:'s Adam B. Vary wrote that the video "changed everything for queer music artists", noting that some LGBT artists like Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block and Lance Bass of NSYNC sang about women while staying closeted, while others like Elton John and Ricky Martin did not explicitly sing about their sexuality.[66] He also remarked that artists like Frank Ocean and Troye Sivan were bolder about their sexuality, but had not reached the same level of commercial success as Lil Nas X.[66] David Harris, a magister of the Church of Satan, approved of the music video's portrayal of consensual sexuality as well as the ending of Lil Nas X crowning himself Satan.[63]

On the other hand, the music video and sneakers received criticism from conservative commentators in the United States, some of whom deemed it immoral or harmful to children.[63][70][71] Governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem, conservative pundit Candace Owens, and evangelical pastor Mark Burns all reacted negatively on Twitter, as did rapper Joyner Lucas and athletes Nick Young and Trevor Lawrence.[72][73][74] In response to criticism, Lil Nas X wrote on Twitter: "There is a mass shooting every week that our government does nothing to stop. Me sliding down a CGI pole isn't what's destroying society" and "I am an adult. I am not gonna spend my entire career trying to cater to your children. That is your job", among other retorts.[70][71] However, he also confessed that the backlash was "putting an emotional toll" on him.[54]

The negative reception to the song and music video was characterized by the Los Angeles Times and Vice as illustrating a Satanic panic and compared to past moments in popular music history, including jazz music being referred to as "the devil's music" in the early 20th century, John Lennon's comment in a 1966 interview that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus", backmasking accusations, the Parents Music Resource Center's "Filthy Fifteen", Madonna's music video for "Like a Prayer", Lady Gaga's music video for "Judas", and Nicki Minaj's performance of "Roman Holiday" at the 2012 Grammy Awards.[50][75] Esquire referred to it as "beelzepop" and similarly compared reception to Gaga's "Judas" and Minaj's "Roman Holiday".[76]
