Felix Jaehn & Cascada, boy you turn me | Beaming with Pride

In the 36^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “boy you turn me” performed by German musicians Felix Jaehn and Cascada.

Are you ready to beam with P-R-I-D-E? Beaming with Pride highlights songs by LGBTQ musicians and allies, offering background, analysis, and discussion of the decadent bops served up. All genres are welcome, and both classics and new songs are recognized. So, without further ado, in the 36^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “boy you turn me” performed by Felix Jaehn and Cascada.

Woo! Nonbinary and pansexual German DJ and record producer Felix Jaehn (he/she/they) and German dance project Cascada (Natalie Horler) join forces for a badass dance bop in “boy you turn me”. “Boy you turn me” sounds familiar, in some respects, for good reason.  It samples a Diana Ross classic, “Upside Down”. “Boy you turn me” was written by Jaehn, Maegan Cottone, Georgia Meek, Troy Miller, and Xoro. Jaehn, Miller, Xoro, and Luca Eck produced it.

From a first listen, “boy you turn me” screams gay club. The thudding beat sets the tone – stomping right onto the dancefloor! It’s the house piano, robust bass line, and the driving, percussive, scintillating groove that propels this turning experience! The sound palette is vibrant. Besides the work that Felix and company contribute, Natalie Horler eats on vocals.  Yes, it’s been nearly two decades since Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch” days, but Nat’s vocals still slap.  She brings plenty of attitude to this fun joint. “I should know better by now,” she sings in the first verse, and adds in the second, “Baby, I’m not blind / Lovin’ you’s like rolling the dice.” Word.  Later, in the third verse, Horler admits, “Baby, it’s all fun / ‘Til you take my heart and you run / Boy, you got me spun / Don’t let go, now I’m coming up.”  Restless, in the pre-chorus, Natalie adds that she’s “Dancing on the edge / Of this chemical feeling / High heels on the ceiling.” Of course, the centerpiece is the chorus excerpted earlier.  It expands:

“Said upside down, you’re turning me

You’re giving love instinctively

‘Round and ‘round, you’re turning me

I say to thee, respectfully.”

Ooh-wee!  A banger and bop through and through, Felix Jaehn and Cascada put in work on the irresistible “boy you turn me”.
