Lil Nas X releases theme song for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

On Friday, June 28, the rapper released the theme song for the upcoming Netflix movie Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, titled "HERE WE GO!"

The track nods to the 1984 Beverly Hills Cop film by incorporating a sample of the original “Axel F” theme song by Harold Faltermeyer, while also showcasing one of Lil Nas X's catchy 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 described the track as one of the "best" songs he has ever made.

"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.

In an interview with Netflix, he shared similar feelings, saying that creating the track was "actually kind of insane" and even 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.

“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” will be available to stream on Netflix on Wednesday, July 3.
