Nick Pes Drops New Single “ADONIS” A Lusty Synth-Pop Devotion to Queer Desire

Sydney, Australia - July 14, 2025

After turning heads with his bold single “Daddy” and lending his vocals to Midnight Pool Party’s recent disco jam “One Day,” Australian alt-pop artist Nick Pes is back with “Adonis” a shimmering, slow-burning ode to impossible beauty and divine attraction.

Built on glistening synths and a pulsing undercurrent, Adonis is part devotional, part dance floor daydream. It’s queer pop that leans all the way into worship: of the body, of desire, of that one guy you can’t stop thinking about - the one who looks like he stepped out of a myth.

“Now I’m on my knees / Can I worship you please?” Pes sings, with a wink and a little bit of holy desperation.

From “Daddy” to Deity

Earlier this year, Nick dropped Daddy - a cheeky, club-ready flirtation that fully embraced queer dominance, submission, and fantasy with a tongue firmly in cheek. With its bold repetition and commanding tone, it proved Nick isn't afraid to say exactly what he wants (or how he wants it).

Now, Adonis takes a more reverent turn, but it’s still unmistakably Nick: dreamy, sexy, and soaked in synth. Both tracks reflect an artist unafraid to put queer longing front and centre, not as subtext, but as the main event.

“Some people are so beautiful you don’t just want them - you revere them. That’s Adonis.” - Nick Pes
