Anyone else pick up how much this touches on hyper masculinity. He talks about the things he's done but justifies them cause he's a man and yada yada. He touches on how these old/gold chains (the ways of hyper masculinity) make him feel safe and brave, talks about never crying in front of someone, imagery of a pimp/lion 2 extremely masculine ideals and even talks about how all this is trapping him cause he's not even allowed to be who he truly wants to be and is forced to lie to himself. I loved every second of it too. Such a refreshing song

[@Missteree87]

Bear King Dre Someone gets it

[@Nikki2917]

Bear King Dre great analysis every song is incredibly deep

[@shinigami45]

Bear King Dre he can be whoever he wants to be. Nothing wrong with being a masculine gay man. He should embrace that.

[@frogsdoingyoga1392]

the song doesn't find a problem with masculinity it's about TOXIC and HYPER masculinity and the way it imprisons males into this false persona where they can't fully express themselves.

[@kaptainzdragon5478]

no need to get nitpicky with semantics. I think most of us understood what the comment was getting at.

[@melitarodgers7208]

dear todrick , I just wanted you to know I'm a big fan and I have sent you some requests for a music video and if you can make them happen I would appreciate it a lot. thanks.

[@shakawalker9814]

[@diamondtaylor1416]

This is my favorite song. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the song from Straight Out Of Oz. However, this song touches everyone and every circumstance in life; where you hind your true self from the world. Too busy trying to fit into the confines of societal boxes, or what you perceive that Society wants from you. You lose yourself or should I say your sense of self. You've played that character for so long that you start to believe the lie.

[@queenanjeza]

[@kckramergamerxboxone4l376]

So true!

[@kirkreid6162]

This is the cowardly lion theme song Toderick-style! The lion is supposed to be the king of the jungle, but this lion from OZ was not what he appeared to be..so this is what Toderick centered the lyrics on and expanded it to fit modern day view of what the public conceives as masculinity ,although the "man-inmal" knows better of himself it's not true , but a facade.. a lie. Love this track!

[@maxdejong7370]

Idk why but to me Todrick is so attractive in this video, then again when is he not fine as hell?

[@LNice-jj8dy]

I miss this Todrick. His themes were so inventive and meaningful. I don’t mind the I am so rich and so sexy themes, but these old songs were so special. And amazing.

[@Michelleblinkie12]

Todrick, I live for your music

[@Bogeymanta]

When I was going through a divorce, this song spoke to my soul. Checking in on it again now that things are much better, it's STILL amazing performance by an amazing, talented artist!

[@kimora3223]

does anyone think this song was inspired by prince

[@Monsterkruemelchen]

Yes! And it also reminds me a bit of Michael Jackson (vocals, I think).

[@JacobMinger]

enteimgelaende it's the vocals, and the dancing to me that remind me of MJ

[@debragarner4884]

Mary Bouzard No, MJ; blood on the dance floor.

[@Delana17]

Yes I found quite a bit of Prince influences.

[@zandraj1570]

As Todrick was singing the first person who came to mind was Michael Jackson. But since he was mentioned, on 2nd thought I heard the Prince influence.

[@TheMistressMisery]

MICHAEL JACKSON + BEYONCÉ = TODRICK HALL😵

[@recbeccamoore6882]

FACTS PERIOD

[@nyawanfuselier2991]

I would be lyin to myself if I said I hate this video

[@Catz1a]

The idea of the Tin Man part of his life being himself getting heartbroken and becoming heartless and then going into the Lion part of his life where he builds himself up with all this pride so that his ability to love is obscured by this hyper masculinity is literally just so good and smart and amazing. This entire album is crazy good

[@kayladt25]

It takes real effort to make something this creative

[@heracleshonda1908]

Omg jack the ripper from Blood bank is your profile picture i was just reading that

[@indirabella9998]

Love that every other downbeat is played by an instrument that sounds chain-like! So fitting

[@izzidfizzy]

This video is one of my favourites just because of how flamboyant it is.

[@kimnamswoon9034]

Honestly, him and Bruno Mars (tho Bruno's been iffy lately) are the only artists who've worthy successors of Pop royalty after Prince and Michael Jackson

[@johnmeldacaymat2385]

This is my favorite song in the album in terms of vocals. Todrick's voice here is dope man. He slayed me with this song

[@loveeveryone114]

You know I just stumbled on this by accident but kid you're pretty sharp. I actually started listening but then when I stumbled on this video I was like hey that's my backyard Neato, -jessa the bearded lady

[@francisd.4689]

I swear to god I`m getting this fucking outfit no one can stop me

[@cosmanality]

Thus is such a good song. I'm surprised it don't have more views

[@sarahcoleman5269]

Just realized, after watching this video however many times, that Todrick is comparing toxic masculinity to the Cowardly Lion. The "tough, gangster" male ideal singing "I'm not that type of guy" to cry, etc. It's all a false persona, on the inside he's scared and vulnerable. I'm still amazed Straight Outta Oz didn't get more attention, it really is a masterpiece.

[@akyiahaurielle8338]

This sounds like LEVELS by Nick Jonas (the beat) kinda

[@miastyles7982]

most songs use the same progression of bass notes. well done noticing it, its an old music biz trick
