So, without further ado, in the 51^st edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2025), we highlight “BITE” performed by Mad Tsai.

“Jean Paul Gaulthier, taste like it’s a Malia / Got bitches wantin’ their hands all up on my bustier.” Interesting, very interesting.  The thing is, I do not doubt that bitches strongly to put their hands on the bust, rather, the chest of Mad Tsai. Have you seen the bisexual pop singer-songwriter? He is super attractive (💯), and he doesn’t seem shy about flaunting what he’s got.  Once more, on the cover artwork for the song at hand, “BITE”, Mad Tsai makes us go mad over the sight of his gorgeous bod and skin. Like, day-um! Enough objectifying! Focusing on the lyrics from the first verse, it is curious that Tsai mentions a bustier, BUT, men can wear them, too! But, continuing with the verse, our beautiful but utterly mad pop star asserts, “You can’t catch up to me, cold heart with a pretty face / I’ll make you lose all of your cool, just say you wanna play.” *Raises hand* Me, me, me – I wanna play! It doesn’t matter if you’re beautiful on the outside and dangerous on the inside 😈!

Mad Tsai portrays himself as dangerous throughout “BITE, which he co-wrote with Adam Boukis (who also produced it) and Chloe Copoloff.  Notably, this is a song about gay vampires, hence the aggressive, sensual vibe. Are vampires gay? Yes, confirmed by Gayish! In the pre-chorus, “our bodies in motion” (hot 🥵).  In the chorus, the centerpiece, he B-I-T-E-S, sending “shivers down your spine / Boy, I’ll eat you alive.” Go ‘head! “Can’t promise you’ll survive / Just make it through the night.” Ooh-wee! The risk is worth the reward.  Similarly, in the second verse, Tsai is fierce.  Dangerous, in the most vampirical way possible, especially referencing his canines, but Mad Tsai also touts his well-roundedness… he is not just a dangerous, beautiful boiii… he’s smart!  Interestingly, the basis for his gay vamp song was a spicy BL (Boys’ Love) series.  Again, I say, hot! Mad Tsai amplifies the spiciness in the bridge, singing, “I’m a sucker, make you suffer / Catch me front page, on the cover / Take it rough, I like it rougher / Move your hips and make you shudder.” Gah-day-um! The theme and lyrics take the cake, perfectly establishing this decadent, sensual bite. But, it should also be noted that Mad Tsai sings and raps capably, oscillating between both, while the musical backdrop is sleek.  The instrumental, with its colorful cues, is the perfect soundtrack to this BL-inspired, gay vampire gem.  With “BITE”, Mad Tsai unleashed the perfect steamy pop song for Pride month 2025 and beyond.  This song right here is hot, hot, hot, Buster Poindexter!
