Lil Nas X<\/a> conjured the futuristic cityscapes<\/a> of his \u201cPanini\u201d<\/a> video on Ellen<\/a><\/em> Monday, performing the song against a backdrop of sparkling buildings and neon-lit screens.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapper-singer recruited a full band for the daytime TV slot, adding a more rock-oriented touch to the trap-pop track. Between the song\u2019s whistled hooks and sleek synths, a live drummer pounded out tumbling tom fills and an electric guitarist played heavy power chords and dramatic leads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPanini\u201d appears on Lil Nas X\u2019s June-issued debut EP 7<\/em><\/a> and marks his second single, following his breakout Number One<\/a> hit \u201cOld Town Road.\u201d<\/a> Lil Nas X recently recruited rapper DaBaby for a \u201cPanini\u201d remix<\/a>, which was paired with an animated video.<\/span><\/p>\n

After releasing \u201cPanini,\u201d Lil Nas X clarified on Twitter<\/a> that the song interpolates parts of Nirvana\u2019s grunge anthem \u201cIn Bloom.\u201d<\/a> During an interview with Beats 1\u2019s Zane Lowe, he noted that writing the song introduced him to the band\u2019s 1991 LP, Nevermind<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of songs will even come to me [when] I\u2019m sleeping or something,\u201d he told Lowe. \u201cLike a melody. And I\u2019m like, \u2018Wow, that\u2019s fly.\u2019 But the craziest thing about \u2018Panini\u2019 is it introduced me to Nirvana\u2019s album Nevermind<\/em>. I always seen the cover, but I never actually listened to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
