Lil Nas X is ready to take over the summer with an electrifying new single!
The rapper unleashed the theme song for the upcoming Netflix film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Friday, June 28, titled "HERE WE GO!"
The song pays homage to the 1984 Beverly Hills Cop film by including a sample of the original “Axel F” theme song written and performed by Harold Faltermeyer while also offering one of Lil Nas X's infectious melodies.

Throughout the track, Lil Nas X, 25, recites confidence-building lyrics such as, "Move tell them make room / tell them make a way / tell them make a hole / Tell them boys they better hide / tell them lay low / tell them play it safe cause we don’t play at all."
Lil Nas X previously called the track one of the "best" songs he's ever created.
"So excited to release the best song of all time this friday! also sorry I’ve been so scared with my art lately. I’m coming around to myself again. I will make you guys very proud," he wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, June 25.
He echoed similar sentiments in an interview with Netflix, in which he expressed that working on the track was "actually kind of insane" and made him "a bit emotional."
"I’m happy to do it. I hope I’m not slaughtered by people who love the original," he added while sitting down with some of the film's stars, including Eddie Murphy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
