Mr. to You

"Mr. to You" is a song by Dorian Electra from their debut studio album Flamboyant. It is the first track on the album.

Background
The song was one of the last of the album to be written and was explicitly intended to be an introduction to the album and Dorian Electra. For Apple Music, they explain, "I wanted the song to be like, ‘Hi, nice to meet you, my name’s Dorian Electra.’ Something fun and upbeat that pulled you into my world in an exciting way and let you know this is a fun pop album but it’s also going to be pretty weird. It’s a good introduction for someone who’s never heard my music."

Theme
In the song, Dorian embodies a person requesting to be referred to as “Mister”. They begin by arrogantly requesting to stay formal with them. Later on, the song suggests that the demanded salutation could instead be interpreted not as a sign of distance, but of a intimate relation.

With “Mister” not only being a formal, but also a strongly gendered title and Dorian being assigned female at birth and now identifying as genderfluid, this song seems like a quite obvious reference to transitioning, drag and queer gender identities.
