Kim Petras, Gag on It | Midnight Heat

In the 14^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Gag on It” 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. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 14^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Gag on It” by Kim Petras.

“G-g-g-gag on it / Sucky suck, eat it up / Get a rush, make ya bust.” It doesn’t require deep analysis to understand what Grammy-winning pop artist Kim Petras is getting at on “Gag on It”. “Gag on It” appears as the second track on her 2024 album, Slut Pop Miami, which was released on Valentine’s Day.  Like the original Slut Pop, released in February 2022, Petras is fully invested in sex positivity. She adds, naughtily on the chorus of this brief, steamy, dance-pop number, “Take it deep, make it skeet / On your knees, make you weep.” Wow !

This ‘deep’ cut was penned by Kim Petras alongside Aaron Joseph, Ryan OG, Rocco Did It Again!, lil aaron, and producer, Dr. Luke.  Dr. Luke puts in serious work behind the boards, giving Petras an energetic backdrop to fuel the lust. The chorus is the centerpiece, but there’s also a verse and pre-chorus that appears post-verse where Petras unleashes her naughtiness.  In the verse, she asserts, “I wanna hear that sound when you gag, OD / Push it through your lips, swallow it real deep…” In the pre-chorus, she keeps it 100, sexually: “Uh, bitch, gag on it / I’ma hit it raw, no bag on it.” Again, “Gag on It” doesn’t require deep analysis, or really, any analysis.  Kim Petras said what she said, and it’s giving off that midnight heat .
