I'm not a boy release

January 31, 2025

Omar has described the track as a personal statement about being unapologetically himself and refusing to be confined by "limiting boxes" or others' expectations.

  • Freedom and Identity: The lyrics explore the feeling of being different and unique, using metaphors like being an "alien out of this world".
  • Rejecting Labels: It aligns with Omar's long-standing public stance of refusing to label his sexuality or identity, emphasizing that he falls in love with the person regardless of gender.
  • Artistic Statement: Omar has called the song a "provocative track" that makes him feel "completely free".

  • Collaborators: The song was written by Omar alongside Sophia Somajo (known for hits with Robyn and Zara Larsson) and produced by Elias Kapari.
  • Spanish Version: A Spanish-language version titled "No Soy un Hombre" was released simultaneously.
  • Touring: The release coincided with the launch of his Every Night Fantasy Tour across 18 European cities in early 2025.
