Kim Petras, Can we f**k? | Midnight Heat

In the 25th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Can we fuck?” by Kim Petras.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike.  In the 25^th edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Can we fuck” by Kim Petras.

“Can we fuck? / Let me see what you got danglin’.” Damn, Kim Petras! The brutally honest “Can we fuck?” is the 12^th track on Petras’ second ‘sex-positive overdrive’ album, Slut Pop Miami, released in 2024. Is Petras a size queen? The slang is often associated with gay men who prefer larger penises, but, women can have preferences too! In the chorus, where the inquiry into fucking first appears, the Grammy-winning pop adds, “Bend me over, watch me handle it / Watch me handle it, watch me handle it.” Woo! Dr. Luke produced this sub-two-minute NSFW dance-pop banger.  The track sounds like sex with its hard-hitting, danceable beat and infectious synth bass line.

Petras sings about his ‘dangler’ in the chorus.  In the verse, she raps! The sex can occur anywhere –  the park, car, or beach.  Kim wants him to be aggressive, too.  “Come and feed me, sweet dessert / In a circ, I’ll make it jerk,” she spits, adding, “We can play dirty games / Tie me up, dicks and chains / Call your friends, run a train.” No, Kim is not talking about an innocent choo-choo train ! There is nothing emotional about “Can we fuck?”.  This song is what it is – an empty but utterly satisfying sex song.
