1. Gia Woods, “Lesbionic”
Heartbreak County, Vol. 2 (EP) » Elle » 2022
“My lips 💋, my body, my hips, so naughty / You stare 👀, you want it, you’re there, so watch me.” Oh, snap, Gia Woods! The Los Angeles-based 📍 Persian American pop musician continues, “Hey girls, no fighting, no kiss, just biting / It’s not iconic, it’s Lеsbionic.” Woo! If the lyrics and the song title, “Lesbionic”, didn’t give it away, yes, Woods is a proud lesbian 👩❤️👩. She makes it loud and clear on the hella energetic, fun, and infectious “Lesbionic, le-le-lesbionic, les!” “Lesbionic” is the fourth track from her 2022 EP, Heartbreak County, Vol. 2. She co-wrote the track with Alexandra Veltri, Dallas Caton, and Miles Comaskey, while Jawn Legend and Dallas Caton produced it.
The production is sleek. This is the expectation for a gay, dance-club track. Anything else would be utterly unacceptable! The beat thumps, the bass pumps, and the synths sizzle. Woo! A high-energy Woods exhibits attitude and personality, selling those lesbionic ways like a champ! In the verse, she drops a few Italian 🇮🇹 bars. Roughly translated, Woods asks, “Ooh, you wanna fuck? / No 🚫 boys, come party /Drink Campari.” Oh, snap 🫰! Sex, no boys – it’s giving L-E-S-B-I-O-N-I-C! In the bridge, Woods continues to celebrate the lesbians, singing, “All around the world, all the girls, so fantastic / Maybe you can’t tell by my nails I’m a sapphic.” Word. It’s giving Sappho of Lesbos! The sapphic reference fits, particularly with Greece 📍 and Lesbos 📍 being referenced in the verse (“Namo a Grecia / Lesbos, you betcha”). No boys may be allowed, but everybody in the LGBTQ+ community (+ the heteros, too) can vibe to this surefire bop! “Lesbionic” slays 💅!

2. Reneé Rapp, “Mad”
BITE ME » Interscope » 2025
“I wish I could take that pretty little face / And shake some sense into you (Like).” Pop singer-songwriter Reneé Rapp is “Mad” about her love interest being mad instead of embracing love and intimacy, hence why she sings the excerpted lines from the song’s pre-chorus. “Mad” is the second single from her sophomore album, BITE ME. Omer Fedi, Carter Lang, Solomonphonic, and Alexander 23 produced this mad gem, which thrives on guitars and alternative and rock/pop cues.
Reneé Rapp sings well from the get-go. She brings energy, accurate pitch, and sings sincerely. In the first verse, the discord is perceptible. “Not a single little curl that’s on your head don’t want me dead,” she sings, continuing, “Okay, I get it, you wanna be mad.” In the second verse, we get a unique lyric where Rapp wishes to replace her Marlboro with her finger: “Slow down, put my finger in your mouth / Pull the bitter taste out, baby, you can have me instead.” Still, Rapp’s girlfriend, if she’s even that, seems utterly displeased. Instead of the anger, in the tuneful, unforgettable chorus, Reneé encourages love, romance, and sex:
“All of the time, you wasted in your head
We could’ve been having sex
You could’ve been getting all of my time
But you were being mad.”
In the final chorus, Rapp gets even madder: “All of the time you were fucking with my head / We could’ve been having sex.” Quality singing, songwriting, and production all make “Mad” a bop.

3. Janelle Monáe, “Pynk” (Ft. Grimes)
Dirty Computer » Bad Boy » 2018
“Pynk, like the inside of your… baby.” Dirty Computer, the third album by eclectic R&B artist Janelle Monáe, is by far her boldest and most personal. Grimes joins her on “Pynk”, one of the very best songs from the album. In the verses, Monáe likens pynk to vagina, women in general, and feminism. The theme of the record – feminism and same-sex female attraction/love – earns more attention than the production and sound of the record, which is excellent too.
“Yeah, somethin’ like that
Owwww! Somethin’ like thar
Yeah, somethin’ like that
‘Cause boy, it’s cool if you got blue
We got the pynk.”
Dirty Computer serves as Monáe’s coming-out party – she officially came out as pansexual during the album rollout. Notably, four years later, in 2022, she came out as nonbinary, utilizing they/them, her/she, and free-ass motherfucker pronouns (I kid you not about the latter). Anyways, “Pynk” was selected as the third-best song on the 100 Best Songs of 2018, deservedly so.

4. Billie Eilish, “Lunch”
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT » Darkroom / Interscope » 2024
“I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Taste like she might be the one.” Academy and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Billie Eilish is honest regarding attraction and sexuality in her song, “LUNCH”. “I’m interested in more than just bein’ your friend,” she adds in the bridge. “LUNCH” is the second track from her critically acclaimed, third studio album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. An authentic, honest, and personal track, Eilish embraces her queerness. In 2023, she came out unintentionally, stating she didn’t know people were unaware of her attraction to women. Early on “LUNCH,” Eilish is transparent about having a relationship with a woman. She adds in the centerpiece, the chorus, “It’s a craving, not a crush.” The lyric legitimizes her desire – it’s no fluke.
In the verses, Eilish ‘opens up’ about her feelings about this girl. All the while, she maintains the lunch metaphor. “Baby, I think you were made for me / Somebody write down the recipe,” she sings in the first verse, adding, “Been tryin’ hard not to overeat / You’re just so sweet.” Things progress, with Eilish offering to help this girl ‘take off her clothes,’ desiring to “get her off.” In the second verse, she’s impressed with her beautiful looks, complimenting her skin. She cleverly concludes the verse by singing, “She’s the headlights, I’m the deer.” What makes “LUNCH” impressive is how vulnerable Eilish allows herself to be. Navigating sexuality is difficult. That is an understatement! Here, with her amazing, distinct voice and the stellar production of her right-hand man, FINNEAS, Eilish conveys her truth, masking nothing. This “LUNCH” is delicious and makes us beam ear to ear with Pride 🏳️🌈.

5. Chappell Roan, “The Giver”
“The Giver” » Amusement / KRA International Inc. / Island » 2025
“And other boys may need a map / But I can close my eyes / And have you wrapped around my fingers like that.” Oh, snap, Chappell Roan (Kayleigh Rose Amstutz)! The Grammy-winning pop singer/songwriter has been open about her queerness early in her career. “The Giver” is no exception, where she expresses her sexual expertise to the same sex, unlike boys who “may need a map.” It is a clever lyric from the first verse. Amstutz penned “The Giver” alongside Daniel Nigro and Paul Cartwright. Nigro produced the track.
“‘Cause you ain’t got to tell me / It’s just in my nature,” Chappell Roan asserts in the chorus, the centerpiece of “The Giver.” She continues, “So, take it like a taker / ‘Cause, baby, I’m a giver /… Ain’t no country boy quitter / I get the job done.” Damn! The sexual innuendo is ripe throughout “The Giver.” In the second verse, she sings, “Good luck finding a man who has the means / To rhinestone cowgirl all night long.” Roan is referencing the famous Glen Campbell classic, “Rhinestone Cowboy”, and the sexual position, cowgirl. Wow! Amstutz delivers a strong vocal performance throughout “The Giver”. Fittingly, the record has country music cues (fiddle, banjo), which match the various country/ country music references. Also, like many country male musicians, Chappell is confident about her ability to woo the ladies. “The Giver” marks another entertaining, high-flying joint from Chappell Roan.

6. FLETCHER, “Becky’s So Hot”
Girl of My Dreams » Snapback Entertainment LLC / UMG Recordings, Inc. » 2022
“Someone saw you out on Friday, saw you walking sideways / Guess you’re gettin’ fucked real good now.” Oh shit, FLETCHER (Cari Fletcher)! The LGBTQ pop artist is feeling bitter regarding her ex-girlfriend. Her ex is now somebody else’s girlfriend – Becky – and like any envious ex, FLETCHER checks out her ex’s new boo! She admits in the pre-chorus of “Becky’s So Hot” (Girl of My Dreams, 2022), “Fine, okay, I’ll say, I went and stalked her / And I don’t really blame you ‘cause / Damn, the waist, the hips, the face, this is awkward.” Oh, snap – FLETCHER is enticed by her ex’s new girl! FLETCHER goes on to admit, “If I were you, I’d probably keep her,” later adding the titular lyric, “‘Cause Becky’s so hot in your vintage t-shirt.” Well now! In the second verse, she reminisces about wearing that same shirt; however, even though she’s jelly, she knows that Becky looks fine! The thing is, “Becky’s So Hot” isn’t merely a well-produced (Malay and Sly), well-performed, and entertaining LGBTQ-themed pop song – it’s got some autobiographical background, per Apple Music. Recapping: FLETCHER is bitter over her ex, who is dating someone else. She checks out her ex’s pictures, and admits, she’s hot. You can’t make this up, can you? All told, “Becky’s So Hot” is a brilliantly, entertaining, must-hear LGBTQ pop record.

7. Teyana Taylor & Kehlani, “Morning”
The Album » Def Jam » 2020
“Got my legs up, hands up, at attention / You make me stand up and switch up on it…” Teyana Taylor doesn’t hold back on “Morning” from The Album (2020). She’s assisted by Kehlani on this lush, sexed-the-fuck-up affair. There’s no innocence or modesty. Explicit is the game for Teyana in the first verse. “Talk that shit, play with that clit, and watch it rain on you babe,” she boldly sings, adding, “Funny how you thought I tapped out when we was fuckin’.” HOLY SHIT! Taylor doesn’t stop on the pre-chorus that follows, which involves touch, titties, and tongue: “Touch it, ooh / Titties in your mouth / With your tongue all out.” Wow…
“Tryna see if I feel what it look like / Been had an urge that I can’t fight,” Kehlani sings, adding, “Yeah, I fuckin’ feel you / Mean I feel you fuckin’ / Shit, I feel you cummin’ / Ain’t gon’ be no runnin’, oh.” In the chorus, the naughty tandem combines forces on select parts. Beyond the seductiveness, the production (Mixx, Tune Da Rula, and Miguel “Louis Gold” Jiminez) perfectly captures SEX, too. How much you wanna bet the accompanying music video for “Morning” made ladies feel some type of way? Furthermore, straight men were turned on, too, as “Morning” depicts a sexual experience between two women. Interestingly, it hits differently when it’s two ridiculously gorgeous women, or so it seems. What’s undeniable is that, regardless of gender or sexuality, “Morning” is one of the sexiest songs and music videos you’ll ever see. Furthermore, it’s important that relationships depicted in songs, music videos, film, and TV cover the full spectrum.

8. FLETCHER & Hayley Kiyoko, “Cherry”
“Cherry” » Capitol » 2021
In “Cherry”, FLETCHER (Cari Fletcher) and Hayley Kiyoko (aka Lesbian Jesus) join forces to express their desires for a particular girl. Produced by Jonah Shy, the backdrop sets up FLETCHER and Hayley for success. Cari takes first blood, setting up how enticing this lady is. “Your lips when you bite ‘em like this / And I’m blushing real hard got me moving my hips,” she sings on the first verse, adding, “You’re across from me / And it’s hard to breathe.” On the chorus, she goes on to sing, “I want you on top of me like cherry.” Ooh la la!
On the second verse, Hayley Kiyoko keeps the lustful vibe going. “Your body’s got me / Out of my mind,” she sings, continuing, “Girl, I’m taking over / Grab your things, we’re going to paradise, paradise.” Both artists sing well, with the personality infused being the biggest selling point. Ultimately, they make a fabulous, formidable team. They do a fantastic job singing about pursuing love with a girl that makes them feel some type of way. Their personalities, vocals, and solid production make this two-and-a-half-minute pop cut a surefire winner.

9. k.d. lang, “Constant Craving”
Ingénue » Nonesuch » 1992
“And constant (constant) / Craving (Craving) / Has always (Always) / Been (Been).” Canadian singer/songwriter k.d. lang is a highly regarded musician. Lang is versatile, thriving in country, folk, and pop stylistically. Notably, she came out as a lesbian in 1992 to the LGBTQ magazine The Advocate when she was at the peak of her career. Notably, Lang has only charted two songs on the pop charts in her illustrious career. The most important of those two songs is “Constant Craving”, the 10th track from her 1992, double-platinum, Grammy-nominated album, Ingénue. “Constant Craving” peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Craving” was nominated for three Grammys, winning the award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. Lang and Ben Mink wrote “Constant Craving.” Lang, Mink, and Greg Penny produced it.
“Even though the darkest phase / Be it thick or thin / Always someone marches brave / Here beneath my skin.” The lyricism of “Constant Craving” is phenomenal. Bringing those lyrics to life are the expressive lead vocals of k.d. lang. She draws you in with her authenticity and sincerity. This performance feels honest and fearlessly transparent from the get-go. Adding to the excellence are tuneful melodies. The contour is perfect. Beyond fine lead vocals, the background vocals supporting lang are haunting. The harmonies are marvelous to the nth degree. Also marvelous is the clean, tidy production work: rhythmic guitars, drums, keys, and accordion. So, what is this constant craving? Desire, lang shares in an NPR interview celebrating the 25th anniversary of the song/album: “It’s an acquiescence. It’s a summation of human desire.”So, how gay is “Constant Craving”, one of the truly great songs from the 1990s? It feels very much gay. Lang came out the year the song and her beloved Ingénue album were released, and the lyrics capture desire. That desire sounds like same-sex desire. There are no explicit queer references, mind you, something that more contemporary LGBTQ+ anthems/songs contain, but this one feels gay, gay, gay, and we wouldn’t have it any other way, way, way!

10. The Japanese House, “Touching Yourself”
In the End It Always Does » Dirty Hit » 2023
“Now, I’m picturing you and you’re touching yourself…” Sooo, is that what we’re doing here, Amber Bain? “Touching Yourself” is the second track from The Japanese House’s 2023 album, In the End It Always Does. Bain sings, “I had to go into the other room / She sent me something and I can’t think about anything else.” Bain’s girlfriend, who is not physically with her, texted – rather sexted – something colorful 😈. As a result, a flustered Bain goes elsewhere, more private, and thinks about her girlfriend pleasuring herself. WOO! Clearly, Bain loves her, adding, “I wanna touch you but you’re too far away / And when you call me, I’m all over the place now.” Honestly, Bain is being authentic, honest, and ultra-relatable. In this case, it’s a lesbian relationship, but could be any relationship experiencing these same situations.
What is interesting about this fierce indie-pop joint (the vocals, and relatively light but rhythm and potent production shine) is how it shifts from longing for intimacy to stepping back from it. “I had to go into the other room / She told me something and I had to go and sit by myself / Said she’d call me from a better place.” Hmm, that’s an about-face! Per Apple Music, Bain says of the song:
Obviously, at the beginning, I was far away from this person a lot – I was touring. And then suddenly, I was close to them all the time because it was lockdown yet felt so far away from them.
Again, even though The Japanese House is a musician and the distance and space away is because of her craft, “Touching Yourself” can be applied to a long-distance relationship. Furthermore, after the distance issue is eradicated, there’s a whole new issue. This describes love and the ups and downs of a relationship. “Touching Yourself” is sensational.

11. Halsey & Lauren Jauregui, “Strangers”
hopeless fountain kingdom » Astralwerks » 2017
Alt-pop artist Halsey, who is bisexual, tackled a lesbian relationship on her 2017 hit, “Strangers”, which appears on her sophomore album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Its content is different from most of the songs featured on the album. Early on, it establishes itself as an LGBTQ song. On the first verse, she sings: “She doesn’t kiss me on the mouth anymore / ‘Cause it’s more intimate than she thinks we should…” The chorus confirms the LGBTQ tilt:
“Said that we’re not lovers, we’re just strangers
With the same damn hunger
To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all.”
Lauren Jauregui, formerly of Fifth Harmony (also bisexual), similarly shares her side of the story on the second verse. Both unite on the bridge:
“I miss the mornings with you laying in my bed
I miss the memories replaying in my head
I miss the thought of a forever, you and me
But all you’re missing is my body.”

12. Brittany Howard, “Georgia”
Jaime » Brittany Howard / ATO » 2019
“I just want Georgia to notice me…” Brittany Howard is best known as the frontwoman to the Grammy-winning, soul-infused, alternative rock collective, Alabama Shakes. On Jaime, Howard goes solo, releasing quite a unique and captivating project. One of the songs that caught my attention while listening to Jaime was “Georgia,” an honest and open song. The above-mentioned lyrics, which hail from the chorus, could be interpreted in a couple of ways without context. Perhaps Howard is referencing the state of Georgia, though we all know that she’s from Alabama… The interpretation that is accurate is her attraction to/crush on Georgia, a lady, of course. She confirms this in the verses, as she opens up about her sexuality. In the first verse, she sings, “Georgia, see you don’t know it, but / I’m afraid to tell you how I really feel.” In the second verse, she adds, “And I can’t help the way that I was born to be / I ain’t no little boy.” Then there’s the bridge, where Howard asks, “Is it unnatural? / Georgia, is it cool? / I wanna tell you that I love you…” Add another awesome song to the LGBTQ+ playlist.

13. Jill Sobule, “I Kissed a Girl”
Jill Sobule » Atlantic Recording Corporation » 1995
“So, we laughed, compared notes / We had a drink, we had a smoke / She took off her overcoat…” Okay, so, what happened next, Jill Sobule? Why, “I Kissed a Girl”, of course! “I Kissed a Girl” is the seventh track from the deceased (😥) musician’s 1995 self-titled album. What did she and her friend, Jenny, compare notes about? Their questionable boyfriends include Brad, who is “dumb as a box of hammers,” and Larry, whom Jill believes, “I think I can do better.” Oh, snap! Sobule wrote the bi-curious/gay gem with Robin Eaton. Brad Jones and Eaton produced it. “Kissed” impacted the pop charts modestly, peaking at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“I Kissed a Girl” not only satisfies because of its queerness (“They can have their diamonds / And we’ll have our pearls” 🤭), but also its musicianship. The sound is eclectic, with country, folk, pop, and rock sensibilities. The groove is particularly satisfying. There is an awesome, distorted, and mean-sounding guitar solo that appears toward the end of the song. Sobule delivers beautiful, playful, and tongue-in-cheek vocals. As the song progresses, it sounds like her vocal performance grows even more confident and more dynamic. Still, it is those queer lyrics that catch our ears. After Jenny tells her boyfriend she’ll be late, she feels guilty, considering, she’s kissing Jill. “Then I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes,” Sobule sings in the second verse, expanding on the rendezvous, continuing, “But it only lasted a little while / And then I felt your hand above my knee.” Oh, snap! While Sobule acknowledges kissing “a girl won’t change the world,” she’s glad she did and admits, after kissing a girl for the first time, “Won’t be the last time.” Word. Rest in peace, Jill Sobule. You left an LGBTQ+ gem for the ages with “I Kissed a Girl”.

14. Melissa Etheridge, “Come to My Window”
Yes I Am » Island Def Jam » 1993
“Come to my window / Crawl inside / Wait by the light of the moon / Come to my window / I’ll be home soon.” Sometimes, lovers are forced to sneak around – their bond or relationship can’t be out in the open at that given time. This happens with affairs obviously, but it can also occur with different types of relationships, specifically same-sex relationships. The phrase, “Come to my window,” is the key phrase from the Melissa Etheridge classic, “Come to My Window” from her 1993 album, Yes I Am. The title, Yes I Am, served as an affirmation of Etheridge’s sexuality. The song itself is about a same sex relationship but keeps things simple without explicit details. Honestly, it’s an awesome rock record that doesn’t need additional details. On the bridge of this Grammy-winning record, Etheridge sings, “I don’t care what they think / I don’t care what they say / What do they know about this love / Anyway.” Damn right Melissa!

15. Lucille Bogan, “B.D. Woman’s Blues”
Shave ‘Em Dry: The Best of Lucille Bogan » Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. » 2004
“Coming a time, B.D. women ain’t gon’ need no men,” Lucille Bogan (1897 – 1948) sings on “B.D. Woman’s Blues”. She adds, “Oh, the way they treat us is a lowdown and dirty sin.” Men can be trash… I know from experience 😏. But who are these B.D. women? B.D., ladies and gents, stands for bull dyke or bull dagger. Both terms reference lesbians. Bull dyke, the more common term, is considered disparaging, defined as a lesbian who is notably or deliberately masculine in appearance or manner. Today, it would be more appropriate to characterize her as butch. Dirty blues songs were racy, ribald, and filled with sexual innuendo and double entendre. “B.D. Woman’s Blues” fits the mold, as Bogan, who recorded under the pseudonym Bessie Jackson, envisions a future where masc lesbians like herself won’t need men at all. Again, men can be trash, particularly those straight men with their toxic masculinity and myopic views 😏. Notably, Bogan is accompanied by Walter Roland (1902/03 – 1972) on piano.
Given that “B.D. Woman’s Blues” hails from the 1930s, that amplifies the controversial, risqué, and scandalous nature of this song. Gay people didn’t exist then… or so some folks would love to believe 😏. Furthermore, singing a song about sexuality… The shock! The awe! Bogan doesn’t shy away from the butch identity, asserting, “They got a head like a sweet angel, and they walk just like a natural man.” No explanation necessary – clear as mud! Later, Bogan expands on the masculine traits of these lesbians, singing, “They can lay their jive just like a natural man,” “They all drink up plenty whiskey and they sure will strut their stuff,” and “you know they work and make their dough [money].” Here’s the thing. Nothing should be controversial about being butch or singing a song about it. What makes this song controversial is that the subject matter, when it was recorded, was taboo, and that the term used to describe that identity is considered disparaging – there is more appropriate terminology. Regardless, “B.D. Woman’s Blues” is notable as a blues song and its significance as an early LGBTQ song, specifically the L.
