As we embrace the essence of PRIDE Month, iconic DJ and producer Felix Jaehn steps into the spotlight with a captivating new single, ‘PRIDE’, now available through Virgin Records. This release comes as a much-needed reminder of the importance of supporting one another during challenging times and encourages individuals to unapologetically express their true selves.
Felix, who identifies as pansexual, non-binary, and queer, states, “I’m not simply proud to be pansexual, non-binary, and queer. I’m proud to openly be that despite the violence and rejection I face because of it! You can’t take my PRIDE!” This powerful sentiment is embodied in ‘PRIDE,’ a track that innovatively bridges house and country sounds, creating an anthem that celebrates identity, courage, and self-expression—a future favorite destined to resonate deeply with listeners.

Emerging from a mental health hiatus, Jaehn’s artistry returns with striking clarity in ‘PRIDE’, which tantalizingly unfolds as both tender and vibrant. Featuring acclaimed singer-songwriter JHart—renowned for collaborations with pop icons like Justin Bieber and Troye Sivan—the track blossoms into a euphoric expression of color and authenticity.

Coz you can’t take my, you can’t take my pride,” the song serves as an empowering declaration of self-acceptance and resilience. It boldly challenges societal norms, advocating for a richer understanding of sexuality as a spectrum rather than rigid categories.
Crafted over the years with input from respected songwriters, including Mike Sabath (Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez) and Michael Pollack (Miley Cyrus, Benson Boone), ‘PRIDE’ has become a labor of love for Felix. The collaborative vision was strikingly clear: to create an anthem that embodies the strength and courage required to embrace one’s true self.
“Now is the time to show our colors more fiercely than ever. ‘PRIDE’ is not just a song, it’s a movement,” Felix reflects, emphasizing the need for steadfastness in one’s identity amidst the diverse challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. “You are beautiful!”
Join the celebration and find ‘PRIDE’ by Felix Jaehn featuring JHart on all major streaming platforms. A radiant production paired with a vital message, ‘PRIDE’ promises to be the summer anthem that champions diversity, freedom, and individuality. Let’s unite and lift each other up in these dark times as we embrace the vibrancy of who we are.
