Contents

The production of the album will be primarily helmed by frequent collaborators of Lil Nas X: Take A Daytrip, Omer Fedi and Jasper Harris as well as Lil Nas X himself, Thomas Bangalter and possibly Ojivolta, Twisco and many others.

Background

Following the release of his debut album, Montero, in 2021, Nas X started his Long Live Montero Tour which was followed by a documentary. [2] This tour acted as a goodbye to his previous Montero era and a welcome into his new "Dreamboy" era.

Release

Following the release of lead single "Light Again!", Lil Nas X announced the title for his sophomore album Dreamboy on Twitter. [3] On November 10, 2024, a promotional video for Dreamboy: Phase 1 featuring the beat of the single "Light Again!" was posted on his social media pages. On November 12, 2024, Lil Nas X uploaded a trailer for phase 1 titled "DREAMBOY." [4] on his YouTube channel. where he was stranded out of sea before being met by his Dreamboy alter ego who opened a portal and rescued him. This trailer featured an upbeat sound that could possibly be the beat to one of the tracks on the album, this lead into a black screen teasing "Phase 1: Ep.1: Let There Be Light", before displaying a "To Be Continued" text followed by the Dreamboy logo. The next day, Nas uploaded a continued version of this on his YouTube channel titled "YOU ARE EVERYTHING!" Starting in the same way the previous trailer ended, Lil Nas X falls through the same portal before a somber piano ballad begins with him rising from the ground in a white suit, referencing his "Sun Goes Down" music video. [5] This is then followed by a narrative by his Dreamboy alter ego walking over towards Nas in a suit, who is looking at his previous stories, worlds he has created and dreams. The beat for "Light Again!" then begins as a screen of Dreamboy emailing his contacts about a party at his house that night, teasing the "Light Again!" music video.

Some tracks were teased through a secret Twitter account called "dreamboy2006". This included Track 9. "Percocet Lovers", Track 13. "Light Again!" and Track 5. "Hotbox".
