So, without further ado, in the 8^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2024), we highlight “I’m in love, I’m in love” performed by Zach Benson.

“Last call, they’re playing our song / We’re dancing to Britney,” Zach Benson sings on his infectious, 2024, queer love song, “I’m in love, I’m in love”.  Can you ever knock the vibes of dancing to Britney Spears? I mean, she #SLAYED back in the day! Benson continues singing, exuberantly, “And I flash back to every soundtrack / That played like a film scene / When I knew my feeling for you dear…” Aww 🥰! The love is potent on this Benson and Allen Miller-penned pop joint.  Benson also produces this major-key, love-embracing record, impressing with an authentic and sweet vocal performance.

Benson’s bread is buttered in the best section of the song, the chorus. He asserts, “I knew it on the way home / Knew it in the night time runner’s high / I knew it in your bedroom (😈) / I’m in love, I’m in love.” He has a point. When you love someone, it feels and hits different.  “I’m in love, I’m in love” was released February, a month filled with amour, yet feels like the perfect, summer love song that arrived early.  Benson reflects on his experiences and feelings with this person in the verse, noting a missing piece in the second verse: “Crash down, I broke your heart / When I moved to the city / Couldn’t find myself / But knew something was missing / I couldn’t keep feeling empty there / You’re taking all those feelings when you’re near.” Love confirmed! Zach Benson concocts a song in “I’m in love, I’m in love” that’s filled to the brim with love. Regardless how you identify sexually, this is a beautiful, relatable love song that should have everybody beaming with pride.
