Anthony Quaid’s new single, “Do I Scare You?”, is a bold and unapologetic anthem that tackles discrimination head-on, while also celebrating self-identity and resilience. This track is deeply personal, born out of Quaid’s own experiences growing up as a gay man in the American South, where he faced rejection, fear, and prejudice. However, instead of letting these experiences define him, Quaid uses them as fuel for a powerful, defiant declaration of who he is and what he stands for. From the very first note, the song grabs your attention. The blend of dramatic live strings, recorded by a Ukrainian ensemble, mixes beautifully with a contemporary pop backdrop. Co-produced by Max Steger, the track has an emotional depth and energy that pulls you in. The strings give the song a sense of grandiosity, while the lively beat keeps the tempo upbeat and empowering. This contrast creates a dynamic atmosphere—emotional yet energizing.
Lyrically, “Do I Scare You?” doesn’t hold back. With lines like “I don’t ‘**ing care about a thing when I’m kissing my babe, welcome to reality, it’s my sexuality”, Quaid boldly declares that he refuses to hide or be ashamed of who he is. The question “Do I scare you?” isn’t just about facing fear, it’s about confronting ignorance and bigotry head-on. It’s an invitation to those who judge others to sit with their discomfort and understand that it’s their fear, not his. The track is also a showcase of Quaid’s vocal range. His smooth baritone voice commands attention, while his falsetto adds an emotional layer that makes the song even more impactful. The powerful vocals are matched by an energetic, catchy melody that will have listeners singing along and feeling empowered.
“Do I Scare You?” isn’t just a personal statement; it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or misunderstood. Quaid’s message is clear: be proud of who you are, embrace your identity, and don’t let anyone’s judgment define you. The song carries a universal message of acceptance, while remaining deeply personal and authentic. This single is just the beginning for Anthony Quaid, as it will be featured on his upcoming debut EP, slated for release in 2025. With this track, Quaid proves he’s a force to be reckoned with in the pop music scene, using his music as a platform to spread love, acceptance, and empowerment. “Do I Scare You?” is a bold statement that will resonate with anyone who’s ever had to fight for the right to be themselves.
