It also represents the LGBTQIA+ community and it shows how Lil Nas is brave enough to challenge the society about the stigma.

The official music video has gained over 172M viewers on YouTube showing its great success. Not only on YouTube, but this song also goes viral on almost every platform such as TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. The rise of the contents using this song as a background music makes it known by more people on the Internet.

I told you long ago, on the road

I got what they waitin’ for

I don’t run from nothin’, dog

Get your soldiers, tell ’em I ain’t layin’ low
