I realized that I am several months late to this party but I think that gives me a little bit more of a perspective on some of the controversy that has surrounded this song so basically when it first got released, before Billy Ray Cyrus was a feature the song was on the country charts, but then all of a sudden, for some reason, Billboard was like 'ummm, let's rethink that' and they took it off the country charts and it was still just going massively huge, then Billy Ray Cyrus jumps on and for like eight weeks, it's been at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100.
'Old Town Road' is a song by Lil Nas X, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.
All right, you guys may not be expecting this, but I am actually a fan of 'Old Town Road' by Lil Nas X and not just because the music is excellent, but because unlike so much hip-hop out there right now, Lil Nas X put some actually personally deep meaning into the lyrics, and I'm going to explain those to you today.
