In April, a remix of the song was released with Cyrus. Later, in March of 2019, the song was re-released by Columbia Records after a bidding war. Lil Nas X (born Montero Lamar Hill) released “Old Town Road” on Decem(three years ago, today). Lil Nas X, who knew Miley because of his past role on the Disney series she starred in, Hannah Montana, reached out to Cyrus for his support. And beyond that, Cyrus’ gritty vocal delivery is just spot on for the track’s opening and break.

A mighty fine welcome paving the way for Lil Nas X’s entry to the country scene. Cyrus, a bona fide country star and father of global music star Miley Cyrus put his arm around Lil Nas X. First and foremost, isn’t the pairing of Cyrus and Lil Nas X delightful? The whole “Yer with me now” dynamic is crucial to the song’s life.
