A better observation would be “Straights’ obsession with wanting attention/sex from gay men is so odd to me” 1
ArtForFreedom Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Late to the party but maybe one the best singles of 2023

Psyduck Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Just because someone is closeted and in denial doesn't mean they are straight, being gay is intrinsic and biological, you can't fake a boner Anyway so happy for Troye and hope this becomes a smash! Gay pop justice

The fact you never address anything I actually say eitherim not saying the meaning of this song can’t be multi faceted, but it’s pretty black and white for the most part and plays on that topic. Idk why that’s so hard for you to accept.

Idk why that’s so hard for you to accept. There's... nothing for me to accept? Let me spell it out for you. The fantasy you mention, and this is basically how he starts the interview, is based on "straight" guys reaching out to him for sex, not the other way around. So, in actuality, the song is a reflection of his personal experience with "straight" men thirsting for gay men. Therefore, Troye wasn't and isn't 'obsessed' with becoming a 'straight man's side piece', which is why I called out your initial statement. Edited October 26, 2023 by Clarksonator 1

Yes, Troye's experience with a gay man chasing him still doesn't take away from the fact this song is obviously playing off gays fantasizing about being with straight men (which is discussed pretty heavily in that interview and also seen on atrl). There are two parties there babe, not just the 'straight' male. This song only perpetrates that narrative even more, which is basically what I said in my first post. 2
Frozen99 Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 he's talking about his experience and what's happening in gay culture, stop the witch hunt 3
Indie Go Mind Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Any update on its stats? I really hope it's doing well still.
Truth Teller Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Can his label get the radio push going? The momentum is there

glacier76 Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) This may be my favourite pop song of 2023? It is both specific and universal. It is modern and timeless (it’s giving Kasey Musgraves vibes). And the video is iconic too. Just a real gem. ETA: Well, my favourite non-Carly pop song of 2023 Edited October 28, 2023 by glacier76
