Sun Goes Down - Lil Nas X - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Lil Nas X unleashes a candid, hard-hitting meditation on self-worth, suicide, bullying and the struggles of being a queer Black high school teen in "Sun Goes Down," which was released in May 2021 and was the follow-up to his Christmas-themed "Holiday" single and chart-topping hit "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)." On "Sun Goes Down," Lil Nas X opens up about his experiences of feeling like an outsider ("Since ten, I been feelin' lonely / Had friends, but they was pickin' on me") and once again deals in queer themes ("These gay thoughts would always haunt me / I prayed God would take it from me") for a personal, intimate track that reached Number 42 on the UK Singles Chart and confirmed Lil Nas X as a vital new voice in hip-hop. "I wanna run away / Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life / Send me a gun and I'll see the sun / I'd rather run away / Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life / Send me a gun and I'll see the sun," he declares painfully in the chorus.
