I may like dicks in me... but these days, I really like Dixon Dallas (heh heh. v proud of myself). And right now it seems like a lot of the world is loving Dixon Dallas, too! That's because the rapper—whose real name is Jake Hill—has just released one hell of a gay country song called "Good Lookin'" and you need to stop what you're doing and listen to it right now.
The song starts out with a simple and seemingly-standard country line about being in love. "There's something 'bout the way you look in my eyes / Like a starry night you light up my skies." The rest of the first verse is equally as pleasant with nods to pounding hearts and longing sighs. But then the second verse heel kicks things into Queer gear. "He's bouncin' off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides." *spit-takes water directly into a spittoon* Excuse me?!

The song continues on telling the love story between Dixon Dallas and "that boy" who's "so damn good looking." The song is an absolute bop, and Dixon's southern twang makes me weak. He also does a legitimately amazing job at balancing the song between dirty lyrics rooted in deep, sex-filled passion... and truly sweet romance and the rush we get from feeling in love. He goes from saying, "I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside" to "That boy he takes my breath away, I can't find the words to say" and "I can't get enough, I'm stuck in your love. That's fine with me, nowhere else I wanna be."
If you do listen to it, you'll join the literal millions of people who have already streamed the song on Spotify, which lead it to become the #1 song on Spotify’s “Viral 50 – USA” playlist. As of the writing of this piece, it currently sits at #2. Dixon Dallas has said that the song is leading up to the release of an EP he plans on releasing soon.

But fans want to know one big question... is Dixon Dallas / Jake Hill Queer, or is this just Queerbait nonsense for viral clicks and ticket sales? In an interview with Pride last week, Dallas addressed the question head-on. "Of course, you’ll have people saying I’m gaybating and queerbating. Growing up in the South, you’re taught how to think a certain way. I reached a point where I started thinking for myself. My music is a big fuck you to my past." It's that last part that makes me think he's genuinely opening up his sexual and love horizons to a broader spectrum, which also seems consistent with the trends of the younger generations. And in that vein, he's also not looking to slap a label on anything. "No, I haven’t disclosed my sexuality. I could be gay. I could be straight. I could be bi. At the end of the day, I feel like it doesn’t matter. There’s no law that says I can’t write a song about getting my booty cheeks bounced off of."
Amen to that, brother! If you haven't heard it yet, enjoy below!
