Lil Nas X and Camila Cabello have dropped a new music video for their collaborative effort “He Knows,” which was released as a single earlier this month.
On Wednesday (May 22), the pair delivered a visual for the joint that finds the two caught up in the hilarious dilemma of competing for the same love interest — a mannequin.

“I’ve just never seen that in a video before,” the Fifth Harmony alum told Rolling Stone about the unique scenario. “I just loved the idea of us fighting over this fluid guy, who we don’t know which way he’s leaning. We both would have so much fun with this and have so much fun with the video, so we got to make it a reality.”
The song will be released as part of her upcoming C,XOXO album next month.
In late March, Playboi Carti hopped on Cabello’s first album single, “I LUV IT.”
On the track, the pop star drops a post-chorus that features a sample of Gucci Mane’s classic track “Lemonade.” The song also interpolates Rihanna’s 2011 track “Cockiness (Love It).”
King Vamp delivers a mealy-mouthed guest verse, slurring words together as he raps: “Oh, you on the road now?/ Oh, you grown now? Oh, you too grown now/ You tryna take your time by your ‘lone/ All this novocaine got ’em numb to the drugs now.”
The accompanying video features the 27-year-old losing a wrestling match, eating chocolate, being chased by a dog and more before her and Carti link up at a convenience store.

“Certain things in our human realm do make me feel like I’m in outer space, and the very rare few times where I’ve had incredible chemistry with someone is one of them,” she said in a statement about the track’s inspiration.
“Part of that cocktail is also the emotional drama between you and that person, and the chaos and butterflies and nerves and passion,” she added. “It’s unsustainable and not peaceful and exhausting, but also, I LUV IT.”
