Ollie King, the star of gay dating show I Kissed A Boy, has released a breakup disco-pop banger, ‘In Your Head’, in time for Pride.
The track is a creative response to King’s breakup with I Kissed A Boy boyfriend Dan Glendinning. The pair split amicably in September 2023 after reaching the show’s final together.
King told QX, “The lyrics are all about getting over an ex who is stuck ‘in your head.’ But it’s not a sad song; it’s playful, fun, and full of love.
“‘In Your Head’ is about moving on and celebrating your authentic self. What better way to do that than with a total banger you can scream along to with your mates at Pride? I can’t wait to experience that energy live with European crowds.”
King and his boyfriend, Dan Glendinning, were the only couple on I Kissed A Boy whose relationship survived months after the show. They eventually split up.
King, 27 and from Brighton, revealed last year that he had attempted to infiltrate Love Island to steal the winners’ prize money before securing a place on I Kissed A Boy. He quickly became a fan favourite.
In Your Head on European tour.
‘In Your Head’ is Ollie King’s first song. For Roubix, it’s a follow-up to ‘Fire Lady’, which hit the charts in several European countries after last month’s release.
Recorded in London and produced on an Italian label, the electrifying track is reminiscent of a Pet Shop Boys track. Spotify listed it in their recommended radar release month. The release includes two remixes of the track by Pete Hammond, the music producer behind eleven UK number ones.
Over the summer, King and Roubix will be touring Europe and playing at various Pride festivals in the UK, Italy, Holland and other countries. The duo also intend to play surprise tracks during their Europe-wide tour.
‘In Your Head’ is out now on streaming platforms.
