The song itself is a love song, but what makes it even better is that Hoying and Grassi are both openly gay. And for so many young LGBTQIA+ folk, this is one of the most important messages to hear some days. With lyrics like 'If you need a friend / Don't look to a stranger / You know in the end / I'll always be there,' the song assures those listening that whether they're in pain or too angry to hear the message right away, when all the dust settles, everything will be okay.

The brainchild of Pentatonix's Scott Hoying & Mitch Grassi, both of who are boldly queer and proud, 'The Promise' is a stunning track that promises listeners they'll have a friend in Superfruit, no matter what. But before it ends, we're going to take one last moment to celebrate it with these five tracks from queer artists that remind us to hold on and uplift and support one another, because better days are ahead. It's a short escape from the daily persecution the LGBTQIA+ community deals with, one that is cherished and celebrated with the purest joy, with rainbow colors taking over every space. As Pride Month 2020 comes to a close, it's hard to say goodbye to the colorful celebrations that provide a tiny bit of relief during these trying times.
