Five Pride Anthems For Your Pride Month Playlist

One of the most ICONIC parts of celebrating Pride Month are the Pride Anthems!

Here are five KiSS Pride Anthems that will slay your Pride 2022 Playlist:

Good As Hell by Lizzo

Not only is this track a certified Lizzo jam, but it is an uplifting anthem for those struggling with issues of self-esteem, and mistreatment. “Good As Hell” teaches us to “do a hair toss, check your nails”, and push away toxicity in life. Focus on yourself and the positivity around you!

Lizzo is also a strong supporter of the 2SLGBTQ+ community:

“It’s called Pride, not hide. Everybody, more than ever, is wearing their hearts on their sleeves and wearing their messages on their backs. It’s time to represent and it’s time to persist and keep going.” – Lizzo

Born This Way by Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is a forever icon in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Her ability to be herself unapologetically is a great example for those looking to find their voice during Pride.

“Born This Way” tells us that every individual’s sexual orientation and body image should be accepted because “Baby, you were born this way!”.

“I want to write my this-is-who-I-am anthem, but I don’t want it to be hidden in poetic wizardry and metaphors. I want it to be an attack, an assault on the issue.”- Lady Gaga about Born This Way

Call Me By Your Name by Lil Nas X

A member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Lil Nas X continues to make waves in the music industry for breaking pre-conceived notions of a pop music star today.

“MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” caught worldwide attention from the moment it was released. Specifically for its queer themes, inspired by a 2017 film of the same name about a gay romance.

“Call Me By Your Name was one of the first gay films that I had watched. I thought the theme was so dope, like calling somebody by your own name is love, keeping the love between you two.” – Lil Nas X

Love Again by Dua Lipa

A Pride Party isn’t complete without Dua Lipa! “Love Again” is all about positive vibes, with themes of personal growth, and what it’s like to fall in love again, after heartbreak. Blending dance-pop, disco, and electro-pop “Love Again” is the song you’ll want to play every Pride!

“It’s entirely a right to be able to love who you want, not just because I have friends in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, but because we’re all human and we deserve it.” – Dua Lipa

Firework by Katy Perry

“Firework” remains a cornerstone piece of music for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. A dance pop anthem of self-empowerment, Katy Perry tells us about the importance of being confident in yourself, and who you love. Never give up no matter the hardships because you’re bound to come out of it like a “Firework”.

“Firework” is about what it means to be an underdog and have the courage, if you’re on the outskirts of society, to be your own person.” – Dave Meyers, Director of Firework Music Video
