Kim Petras Drops “Freak It” and Sets the Stage for Queer Party Royalty
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Kim Petras has never been one to keep things low-key, and her latest drop, “Freak It,” is pure proof. Unveiled with a music video filmed in the heart of Paris during Fashion Week, Petras’ new single comes draped in glitz, high-energy beats, and that signature “party girl” attitude that’s become her calling card. But this isn’t just another pop release—it’s a celebration, a declaration, and a love letter to the queer community that’s elevated Petras from underground sensation to global icon .
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when pop’s reigning queen of self-expression takes over the City of Lights, “Freak It” delivers the answer in three dazzling minutes. Shot amidst the electric chaos of Paris Fashion Week, the video is a runway of its own, with Petras dancing through glamorous hotel rooms, neon-lit parties, and the kind of after-hours mischief that can only be described as “iconically queer” .
Visually, it’s a feast: think shimmering dresses, sharp makeup, and a parade of chosen family who move with Petras through every beat drop. It’s a world where gender is fluid, celebration is sacred, and everyone is welcome to lose themselves in the music.
Musically, “Freak It” is classic Petras—catchy, irreverent, and built to blast from club speakers and bedroom playlists alike. Lyrics like “Freak it / Break it with freak it / Break it in your favorite it / Freak it with your headphones on” give a wink to those who know the power of dancing alone before the world is ready to watch you shine .
But there’s more here than just pop hooks. Petras has always laced her music with the kind of subversive joy that resonates deeply with queer listeners. “Freak It” is a permission slip for self-celebration, for breaking free from expectations—whether you’re on the dance floor or just living your truth out loud.
Kim Petras’ journey has been inseparable from her identity as a transgender woman in pop—a space that, until recently, rarely made room for such stories at the top of the charts. With every beat and every visual, Petras reminds fans that queer joy is not just possible but essential.
Her Paris Fashion Week escapade isn’t just scenery; it’s symbolism. Paris has long been a haven for queer creatives, a place where boundaries blur and reinvention is the norm. Petras’ presence there, surrounded by her tribe and serving looks that defy binaries, is a reminder that queer narratives belong at the center of culture, not the margins .
With her third album on the horizon, “Freak It” sets the tone for what promises to be another era-defining chapter. For queer fans, this isn’t just new music—it’s a rallying cry. In a world that still tries to police who gets to feel joy, Petras is handing out invitations to the party.
And as the chorus pulses—“Freak it. Freak it.'Cause you got no job. Freak it. Freak it. I could hook you up freaking freaky little death...” —it’s impossible not to feel the thrill of queer possibility .
What makes Petras’ work so vital isn’t just the music, but the space it creates. Her videos are full of chosen family, collaborators, and fans who’ve found their own voices in her sound. Whether you’re out, questioning, or just searching for your place, “Freak It” is a reminder that there’s joy to be found—on the dance floor, in your headphones, and in the community we build together.
Petras herself summed up her approach perfectly on her official site: “I love to make music and one day I want to be a famous Pop Star!!!!! Freak It is out now. хохо Kimmy” .
With “Freak It” blazing across screens and speakers, all eyes are on what Petras will deliver next. If history is any guide, it will be unfiltered, unforgettable, and unapologetically queer.
For now, as the nights get longer and the party lights glow brighter, queer fans everywhere have a new anthem—and a reminder that in the world of Kim Petras, every night is Pride.
