Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E! Beaming with Pride celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies.  Here, we provide background and insight into musicians, analyze, plus go gaga over the decadent bops served up.  When songs dictate deeper and more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is fully articulated.  All styles of music are welcome, whether the songs are classics or brand-new. So, without further ado, in the 25th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Kiss It Kiss It” performed by Reneé Rapp.

“I met a girl out on the Eastside / I took her ass back to the Valley though.”
Oh, you did, Reneé Rapp? 😈 Rapp continues in the first verse of “Kiss It Kiss It”,  “She asked me how I like my breakfast / I told her, ‘Hot on the bedroom floor.’ Oh, snap! Better yet, holy shit! Clearly, it’s going down on the fifth track from Rapp’s sophomore album, BITE ME. Rapp co-wrote “Kiss” with Alexander 23, Omer Fedi, and Ali Tamposi. Fedi, Alexander 23, and Vaughn Oliver produced it.

At times, her performance sounds dreamy. The melodies are simple but memorable. I love her playful moments, including the likes of, “I think we almost made a baby / I mean, we can’t, but we came so close,” and “Like / God / Damn / Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn,” which precedes the second chorus. Interestingly, the verses are set in a minor key. The chorus shifts to a brighter, parallel major.  Unsurprisingly, the chorus is the crème de la crème – the crowning achievement.

“You’re gonna kill me if you kiss it like that

Got me in tears and not because I’m sad

Top of the morning, let me pull your hair back

Like, come on and kiss it, kiss it

You’re gonna kill me if you kiss it like that

No, I don’t mind a little disrespect

Talking is boring, let me throw your hair back

Like, come on and kiss it, kiss it.”

I adore Rapp’s falsetto during the chorus.  It’s another win on a #winning track! The bridge, although brief, distinguishes itself from the verses and chorus: “Come on and kiss it, kiss it / Come on and kiss it right now / Might have to bury me before I leave without.” Ooh-la-la, Reneé! All told, “Kiss It Kiss It” is a surefire bop from the talented Reneé Rapp.  Rapp and her girlfriend are not innocent in the least, judging by these sexcapades!
