Theme & Lyrics ✍ 

“All the cute boys are robots / None of these boys are real.” That’s a mic-drop moment right there! 🎙 The Other Realm definitely has a point.  If you’ve ever messed around with dating apps, you totally understand the sentiment he serves up on 🎵 “All The Cute Boys Are Robots”.  He continues in the chorus, “All the cute boys have metal hearts / That were never programmed to feel.” Also, true. While The Other Realm is pessimistic for much of the chorus, he looks on the bright side towards the end: “But I shouldn’t let it steal my joy / Cuz one of these days I’ll fall in love / And it won’t be with some stupid wind-up toy.” Another mic-drop moment that we should all be able to relate to – gay, straight, or otherwise!

The chorus of this pop track summarizes “Cute Boys Are Robots” perfectly.  But, the verses deserve to be highlighted as well. In the first verse, The Other Realm seems to be looking for validation from these lame-ass boys.  “My hair’s pulled back, my chest’s puffed out / And my eyes are open way too wide,” he sings, later adding, “I just want validation that random strangers think I’m cute / I’m trynna get over heartbreak…” Essentially, these lyrics provide more nuance to the reason for the pursuance, if you will. In the second verse, there’s more insight into the heartbreak, including his ex-boyfriend “Send me photos of his latest fuckboy mistakes / So I go online because I don’t go out /… Yeah, I go online because I want someone to kiss.” Of course, we ultimately know that cute boys are robots and nothing going to come from a wind-up toy.

Final Thoughts 💭 

🎵 “All The Cute Boys Are Robots” is another wonderful addition to the LGBTQ+ musical catalog.  Regardless of your sexual preference – whether you’re a member of the community or an ally – this is a relatable song about heartbreak, rebounding, and realizing how much superficiality exists, particularly when it comes to online dating.  The Other Realm nails it on this incredibly enjoyable and honest pop joint.
