Do I Scare You? By Anthony Quaid: Review

Baton Rouge native Anthony Quaid has emerged with a bold, defiant LGBTQ pop anthem, “Do I Scare You?” a fearless declaration of self-love and empowerment. As his first single from an upcoming 2025 EP, the song channels Quaid’s journey of embracing his identity as a gay man in the conservative South, transforming fear and rejection into an electrifying celebration of authenticity.

The track opens with a cinematic burst of orchestral grandeur that quickly shifts gears into an immersive rhythm driven by a powerful bass and cascading beat drop. Quaid’s high, commanding vocals are unwavering, delivering his lyrics with confidence and an infectious energy. Layered vocal effects amplify his presence, creating an almost choral depth that underscores his message of unity and strength.

The chorus is an exhilarating highlight, pairing epic, sugary-slick immersive production with anthemic lyricism that soars above thunderous beats. The music crescendos with vibrant, adrenaline-pumping intensity, making it impossible not to sing along—regardless of your orientation. With its vibrant energy and unapologetic tone, the song transforms into a rallying cry for self-expression:

“Tell me, Do I Scare You?/ Do I send shivers down your spine?/ Does my presence impair you?/ Does my existence not seem right?”

Quaid’s lyrics cut straight to the heart of societal discomfort with unapologetic authenticity, flipping the narrative with sharp wit and a no-holds-barred attitude.

Musically, “Do I Scare You?” is a masterclass in modern pop production. The vibrant production supports Quaid’s message, ensuring the song’s emotional resonance hits hard.
