So, without further ado, in the seventh edition of Beaming with Pride (2025), we highlight “GAY 4 ME” performed by G Flip featuring Lauren Sanderson.

“And now that I’ve left out the gate / She’s telling me our sex was so great.” Oh, snap! Great sex is enticing, no cap! Melbourne-based musician G Flip (Georgia Flipo) tapped American singer/songwriter Lauren Sanderson for the same-sex loving single, “GAY 4 ME”. Flip, Sanderson, and Pink Slip penned “GAY 4 ME.” Flip and Kyle Buckley produced it. The rocking pop musical backdrop rocks ! So do the vocals by Flip and Sanderson !

G Flip draws first blood, owning the lyric excerpted above from the first verse.  She continues, sexually, “And I know that she masturbates / To the memories we made / And thinks of me ‘cause she knows, oh…” Ooh-wee! There is no need to hide her feelings.  If she’s attracted, she’s attracted, right? Right.  But, of course, there’s potential internalized homophobia, revealed in the centerpiece, the chorus, performed by both artists:

“Oh-oh

She said she’s only gay for me

And I don’t know what to believe

Yeah, she said she’s only gay for me.”

Hmm, selective same-sex attraction? Apparently.  Sanderson arrives in the second verse, bringing similar vibes to Flipo in the first.  “She’s coming up kissing on me / I know your momma wouldn’t agree,” she sings, continuing, “You said I make you feel so complete / But you’re in between / From what you are and what you’ve been.” Sexuality – it is something else! G Flip and Lauren Sanderson ‘bring the heat’ on “GAY 4 ME”. They paint a familiar scenario seen in many queer songs.  One person has accepted themselves and freed themselves of hang-ups regarding sexuality.  The other is fearful to take the plunge or tries to justify reasons why they aren’t ‘gay.’ This is an entertaining song, but also sad because the closet can be a depressing place.
