Hayley Kiyoko & Fletcher in "Cherry"; Megan Thee Stallion & Renée Rapp in "Not My Fault'; Kehlani & kwm is "worst behaviour"@fletcher/YouTube; @reneerapp/YouTube; @kwnway/YouTubeEven with the rise of sapphic musicians creating unapologetically queer songs for fans to scream (or cry) along to, we don't get a ton of collaborations between them. But that doesn't mean we haven't gotten some absolute bangers so far during this revolution.
Hopefully more artists will follow suit, but in the meantime, here are some of our favorite sapphic collabs you should add to your playlists immediately — if you haven't already.
1. "Strangers" by Halsey ft. Lauren Jauregui
"Said that we're not lovers
We're just strangers
With the same damn hunger
To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all"
2. "Cherry" by Fletcher & Hayley Kiyoko
"Your lips when you bite 'em like this
And I'm blushing real hard, got me moving my hips
You're across from me
And it's hard to breathe"
3. "Persuasive (Remix)" by Doechii & SZA
"She’s so persuasive
That marijuana
She’s so flirtatious
(How does it feel to be you)"
4. "Los Vas A Olvidar" by Billie Eilish & Rosalía
"¿Lo va' a olvidar?
Can you let it go?
Can you let it go?"
5. "Silk Chiffon" by MUNA ft. Phoebe Bridgers
"Life's so fun, life's so fun
Don't need to worry about no one
She said I got her if I want
She's so soft like silk chiffon"
6. "Taste So Good (The Cann Song)" by Hayley Kiyoko, VINCINT, MNEK, & Kesha
Yes, this is a promotional music video for a weed beverage company, and yes, that's Patricia Arquette standing in for Kesha in the music video. But a bop is a bop!
7. "Dear Insecurity" by Brandy Clark ft. Brandi Carlile
Who doesn't love a good collab between wives?
8. "Taste of You" by Rezz ft. Dove Cameron
"What am I supposed to be
When you sink your teeth in me?
'Cause I live for the way you move
I'd die without the taste of you"
9. "GAY 4 ME" by G Flip ft. Lauren Sanderson
Yes, G Flip is non-binary but there's no denying this song is totally sapphic.
10. "Not My Fault" by Reneé Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion
"It's not my fault you came with her, but she might leave with me
It's not my fault you gotta pay for what I get for free
It's not my fault you're like, you're like, you're like in love with me
It's not my fault you're like in love with me"
11. "worst behaviour" by kwn ft. Kehlani
Although we couldn't find confirmation on how kwn identifies, this music video is hella gay.
12. "What I Need" by Hayley Kiyoko ft. Kehlani
"I only want a girl who ain't afraid to love me
Not a metaphor of what we really could be
Oh, I ain't putting on a show"
13. "Girls" by Rita Ora ft. Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, & Charli XCX
This song was weirdly controversial when it came out, thanks in part to the harmful assumption that everyone is straight until they explicitly state otherwise!
14. "Common" by Maren Morris ft. Brandi Carlile
"I breathe it in my lungs
I've seen it in the flesh
If all we need is love
How the hell did we forget?"
15. "Favela Chegou" by Ludmilla & Anitta
And it's not their only collab!
16. "Touch Me (Remix)" by Victoria Monét ft. Kehlani
"And when you rock them short nails, that's low-key sentimental
Now keep 'em cut though so there ain't no incidentals"
