Editor's note

Hayley Kiyoko's pop songs about queer life

From Disney Channel acting to writing direct pop songs about same-sex relationships.

For the clearest sense of her approach, 'Girls Like Girls' still frames things well. 'Bittersweet' and 'One Bad Night' show how that directness has held up.

Her 2015 EP 'This Side of Paradise' included 'Girls Like Girls,' which connected strongly with LGBTQ+ listeners. Songs like 'Sleepover' and 'I Wish' from later albums continue exploring queer themes through personal experience rather than overt messaging. Tracks like 'Bittersweet' and 'One Bad Night' keep that straightforward approach to relationships and identity.

She started acting in Disney Channel shows as a teenager before music became her main focus. The 2018 album 'Expectations' and 2022's 'Panorama' followed her debut EP, with collaborations including Kehlani and Kid Cudi along the way.
