Multi-hyphenate performer, singer, songwriter, actor, and activist Frankie Grande shares a brand new single and music video entitled “Boys” out now via Casablanca Records. Listen HERE. Watch HERE. It sets the stage for his forthcoming debut album, Hotel Rock Bottom, out June 27th. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
“Boys” pops off as a dancefloor-ready party-starter powered up by head-nodding synths and Frankie’s seismic vocal delivery. He gets flirty, lacing double entendre into the verses. However, the energy practically overflows once he hits the hook, “Boys, wanna have a little fun, wanna fake a little love.” The video was produced in partnership with MISTR, the largest LGBTQ+ telehealth platform for sexual health, delivering 100% free PrEP and DoxyPEP. The video was directed and produced by MISTR creative director, Philip Henry. Producer and editor Ron Katagiri was tapped in as well. The visual draws the spotlight to Frankie, with wild editing bouncing between the gym to the sauna with no shortage of powerhouse choreography.
He has effectively transformed the Cyndi Lauper classic “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” into “boys just wanna get some”, creating an LGBTQ+ banger tailormade to heat up summer 2025.
He comments, “‘Boys’ is my unapologetically queer twist on a pop classic—because boys just wanna get some! I wrote it about a magical trip to Fire Island for Pride where I felt totally free, fierce, and fabulous. This track is a ‘gay Pride’ summer anthem for anyone who’s ever danced all night, kissed under the stars, and lived their truth out loud!”
The new single arrives on the heels of “Rhythm of Love.” Since releasing in March, the latter continues to buzz with over 1M streams. Queerty praised the track as an “dazzling debut” while Gayety proclaimed the single, “is a celebration of life, resilience, and the powerful connection music has to the human spirit.”
In other news, Frankie will be performing at OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride during the weekend of May 31st. Taking place at West Hollywood Park in Los Angeles, CA, he will perform alongside other queer and ally artists such as Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Honey Dijon, Paris Hilton, and Kim Petras. He will then perform at OUTLOUD Music Festival in Boston, MA on June 21st, sharing the stage with Kim Petras, Trixie Mattel, Flo Milli, and more. See more information and purchase tickets HERE.
