Lil Nas X has come through with a comeback single called "World's Greatest!" which speaks to his upbringing and what he's been through.

Lil Nas X went through a very public situation last year, and now, he is mounting his comeback. His latest single, "World's Greatest!," is quite triumphant as it delves into where Lil Nas X started and where he is now. He speaks about his upbringing and making his mother proud. On the hook, he sings about being a "champion." The production goes back into that country-pop he made his own on "Old Town Road." Meanwhile, the singing on the hook sounds a bit like Andre 3000's inflection on "Hey Ya." It's an interesting song and one that shows Lil Nas X has returned.

Quotable Lyrics from World's Greatest!

Came up from the bottom
Used to share a room with my sisters and my brothers
Five to a bed, we was in there sharin' covers
Grew up in the hood with my mama and grandmother
