The new campaign video was described in a press release from the clothing company as "Lil Nas X moves through doors that represent the struggles he has faced in life—from fear, self-doubt, to judgement from others—and ultimately takes the stage, inspiring the world to transcend their limits and express who they really are."

Collins and Lil Nas X were delighted to be working on the project together, according to Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. The Atlanta-born singer contrasted the campaign's goals with the ones he has been achieving in the meanwhile.

"Breaking down doors has been the theme of my entire career, and this ad embodies everything I've accomplished thus far," Lil Nax X said. "It's based on honesty and self-expression, two things I truly value, and it's about embarking on new life chapters, experiences, and versions of myself. Putting this together with Stuart and Petra was a lot of fun."
