"Lost in the Citadel" is a song by American rapper Lil Nas X.
In limited release, it was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio through Sony Music on April 8, 2022, as the fifth and final single from his debut studio album, Montero (2021).
[5] Laviea Thomas of Clash deemed the "dystopian daydream" as "a trance-like break from the high energy run-ups", explaining that "it's the perfect break and further edges forward the otherworldly theme that is weaved throughout the entire album".
music critic Jordan Currie felt that the song is "a unique standout on the tracklist" of Montero that showcases Lil Nas X's versatility.
[2] PJ Somervelle of The Line of Best Fit was reminded of Machine Gun Kelly and Willow from the muted chord riffs of "Lost in the Citadel" and was reminded of Travis Barker from the drums of the song.
