The ”Old Town Road” remixes keep coming.

Teaming up with RM from the South Korean boy band BTS, Lil Nas X has released the latest version of his genre-bending country rap tune — a remix titled “Seoul Town Road,” in reference to the South Korean capital.

It features RM, whose real name is Kim Nam-joon, busting out one of the song’s main rap verses in English.

On social media, fans of the boy band and Lil Nas X expressed excitement and surprise at the collaboration.

“They finally stopped with old time road versions,” one wrote. “Namjoon: hold my purple homies #SeoulTownRoad”

“OLD TOWN ROAD WHO ???” another wrote. ”I ONLY KNOW SEOUL TOWN ROAD.”

On Twitter, Lil Nas X, who’s 20, poked fun at himself for all of the remixes, which have included versions with Diplo, Young Thug and Mason Ramsey.

“Seoul town road joining the 79 other old town road remixes,” he wrote.
