[5] In an article published by Billboard in late September 2021, the song was described as "designed to be a charts favorite" by Stephen Daw, while Jason Lipshutz said that it "functions as a spiritual sequel to 'Montero (Call Me by Your Name)' (2021)".

The music video for "Thats What I Want" was directed by STILLZ and produced by Esteban Zuluaga, Malcolm Duncan, and Fabien Colas which premiered on September 18, 2021. [33] During a football game at the fictional Montero University, whose players wear pink uniforms, Lil Nas X falls from the sky to crash on the field, causing him to injure his knee. As he is taken off the field, he meets the eyes of another player, played by Yai Ariza. [22] The two of them meet alone in the locker room, where they begin to kiss. [7] [15] Later they are seen in a passionate sex scene in the shower, with Lil Nas X opening a Durex condom package. [13]

In the second verse, the pair are seen next to a campfire in cowboy outfits as well as being intimate in a tent; the scene is a homage to Brokeback Mountain (2005).

At the altar a priest, played by Billy Porter, gives him an electric guitar, [15] on which Lil Nas X plays a solo. [7]

Kaufman described the video as "steamy, drama-filled", adding that it is "fittingly high drama visual for an album that has already given us some other iconic videos for 'Industry Baby' and 'Montero (Call Me by Your Name)'." [22] Writing for The Fader , Shaad D'Souza described it as "raunchy" and "cinematic". [34] Wilson said that it is "tour de force performance of in-your-face queerness". [7]
