Background

German producers X-Plosive and Abaz created a sketch for the beat two years prior to its release. In an interview with Rolling Stone, they said they "had Drake on our minds [making that], something really melodic."[1]

Lyrics and composition

In the song, Lil Nas X tells his fans that he plans to never have a solid plan.[2] Desire Thompson of Vibe states that the message of the song is about "pushing forward, despite fears of what's on the other side."[3]

On June 30, 2019, the last day of Pride Month, Lil Nas X tweeted that the lyrics of "C7osure" talk about his sexuality.[4] He also tweeted the track cover that has a rainbow colored building, going as far as to say "dead-ass thought I made it obvious", and showing two pictures of the EP cover. One with how it normally looks, and one where the picture is zoomed in on the rainbow building.[5] He said that the lyrics of "C7osure" confirm his identification as a member of the LGBT community.[6]

Reception

Craig Jenkins of Vulture describes the track as "a promising up-tempo disco jam." Jenkins describes "C7osure" and "Panini" as "breezy, catchy love songs."[7]
