In the 96^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Ach So?!,” performed by bisexual German actor and singer Prince Damien.

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 music genres are welcome. Songs, old and new, are welcome as well. So, without further ado, in the 96^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Ach So?!” performed by Prince Damien.

“Na-na-na-na-na-na, ach so / Komm, such dein Glück doch anderswo.” Bisexual German actor and singer Prince Damien (Messiah Prince Sheridan Damien Ritzinger) has spoken.  Um, so, what did the handsome and talented fella say on his 2026 song, “Ach So?!” Well, the “Na-na-na(s)” are universal, but the rest of the intro reads, “Oh, I see / Go on, look for your happiness somewhere else.” Ach So translates from German to English as ‘Oh, I see,’ ‘Oh, okay,’ ‘Oh, right,’ etc. Prince Damien, Axel Breitung, and Thomas Rosenfeld composed “Ach So?!” Rosenfeld also produced it.

“Ach So?!” is a bop from the get-go.  The production is vibrant – bright and colorful sounding.  Perhaps this brightness comes from the therapeutic nature of letting a cheater go 🤷🏾‍♂️. Although it is in German, the lyrics are memorable (at least once translated into English), and the melodies are tuneful. In the first verse, Prince Damien is suspicious about the man (presumably) he’s with. “Doch wem schreibst du da heimlich neben mir?” he sings, which translates as “But who are you secretly texting while you’re with me?” In the second verse, compelling with his ripe tenor, he adds, “Hast diе Liebe über Nacht auf diе schiefe Bahn gebracht / Glaubst du im Ernst, dass ich noch bei dir bleib’?” – “You sent our love off the rails overnight— / Do you honestly think I’m still going to stay with you?” In the centerpiece, the chorus, Prince Damien is over this shhh!:

That’s my boy! Prince Damien is done with him, as he should be.  What we’re not done with is “Ach So?!” which is a pop bop that slaps any time! Top-notch singing, memorable songwriting, and marvelous production make this a bop that truly beams with pride, NO CAP!
