(2003), Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" (2014) and the Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber's "Stay" (2021).[6][7][8][9] The track begins with the rapper stating "Need a boy who can cuddle with me all night."[3] The song's chorus is accompanied by "power pop" background choir and it sees Lil Nas X singing that he wants to have a lover.[10] Sheet music for the song gives the key of C-sharp minor with a tempo of 88 beats per minute.

Critical reception
editCarl Wilson from Slate stated that "Thats What I Want" is a "fantastic" song and an "anthem of same-sex longing";[7] while Mike Wass of Variety called it "toe-tapper with massive radio appeal".[3] Its chorus has been described as "indelible" by The Guardian's Alexis Petridis,[6] "snappy" by Gil Kaufman of Billboard,[22] and "stirring" in an article published on Entertainment Weekly by Maura Johnston.[10] Calling its beat "infectious", David Smyth of Evening Standard said that Lil Nas X could have made the pronouns ambiguous for "mass appeal", but opposing to that he made the song "[ring] completely true".[8] Writing for Rolling Stone, Jon Dolan assigned to the song adjectives such as "playful", "hopeful", "sweet", and "proud";[23] while New Statesman's Emily Bootle described it as an "innocent, emotive love song".[24] Zoya Raza-Sheikh from Gay Times said it is a "soaring track packed with unapologetic queer heartache that builds the record's momentum".[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)".[9]

Music video
editThe 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 17, 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).[34][35] Next, Lil Nas X goes to the other man's house with flowers, only to discover he is married to a woman and has a child.[22] Lil Nas X drives home in anguish, gets drunk, and eventually passes out.[15] At the end of the video, Lil Nas X enters a church wearing a white wedding gown and walks down the aisle in tears. 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]
