“Got no stress, I’ve been through all that / I’m like a Marlboro Man so I kick on back.” That line references the Marlboro Man, an iconic representation of a relaxed cowboy. He sings, “Hat down, cross town, livin’ like a rock star / Spent a lot of money on my brand-new guitar / Baby’s got a habit: diamond rings and Fendi sports bras / Ridin’ down Rodeo in my Maserati sports car.” There’s lots of name-dropping about expensive things, but hey, he’s a rock star, who can blame him? Billy Ray goes on to explain he has been through hardships in life and had to ride his own journey to success, like Lil Nas X.

The beginning of Billy Ray Cyrus’s verse, on the other hand, is a huge flex on all our lives. Like, where is the Old Town Road? And why does Lil Nas X have a horse? Why was the song invoked in Lil Nas X’s controversial “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” backlash? What happened to his car? Check out our explainer below, and hopefully your (or mostly just my own) confusion is cleared up.Ĭolumbia Records And then Billy Ray Cyrus comes in. But the catchy hit is also super confusing. Since 2019, “Old Town Road” has completely blown up and even won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video at the 2020 Grammys.

When Billy Ray Cyrus hopped on the track for a remix, two worlds collided and something that can only be described as *magical* was produced. Two years ago, most people didn’t even know who Lil Nas X was and Billy Ray was not the Cyrus we thought we wanted new music from.

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t heard “Old Town Road” at this point.
