The day always comes when a meme goes further than we ever wanted and, well, here we are ladies and gentleman.

Mason Ramsey, fondly referred to as the Walmart yodel boy, has surfed the viral wave for the past few weeks. It’s landed him a spot at Coachella, a record deal with Atlantic Records, and as of last night, a debut single, “Famous.”

It's a fun and simple track, and a delightful rumination on young love from the 11-year-old. On "Famous," Ramsey sheds his Hank Williams Jr.-inspired yodels for something more likely to be heard on the radio.

On the track he insists that he’s over this fame thing — but that doesn’t mean his fans are over keeping up with him. Stans of the Walmart yodel boy hopped onto the platform that made him famous to share their thoughts on his major label debut.

You can catch watch him perform the track on Ellen below.
