Over a crunchy acoustic guitar, glittering synth, and a background choir, Lil Nas X sings of his quest for love.

Los Angeles producer Omer Fedi. He also collaborated with Lil Nas X on his chart-topping single "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)." His other credits include 24kGoldn's "Mood" and The Kid Laroi's "Without You" and "Stay." Producers Blake Slatkin and KBeazy, who worked with Fedi on "Mood." Slatkin also collaborated with Fedi on The Kid Laroi's "Without You" and "Stay."
