They\u2019ve produced a track together called \u2018One of Me\u2019. It will feature on Lil Nas X\u2019s debut album,&nbsp;<em>Montero<\/em>, which is released this Friday (September 17), and on Elton\u2019s next album, a selection of collaborations called&nbsp;<em>The Lockdown Sessions<\/em>, out October 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s going to be hard to avoid Lil Nas X, a genius at marketing himself, over the coming days. Not only did he turn in another headline-grabbing performance at the MTV Music Video Awards last night, but he also scooped the coveted award for Best Video for \u2018Montero (Call Me By Your Name)\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Lil Nas X ft.
