Acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist G Flip shares, 'Bed on Fire', taken from their 2025 album, Dream Ride.
A previously unreleased track on the album’s arrival in September last year via Awal Recordings, ‘Bed on Fire’ has received a wave of popularity this year upon its usage in the fifth episode of the first season of the Amazon Prime Video series Off Campus. It saw the song debut at #48 on the ARIA Singles Charts, becoming their first to enter the top 50.
About ‘Bed On Fire’, G Flip explained on its release, “This song is all about the angst I grew up feeling going to Catholic school, having my first experience with a woman, and being like, ‘I’m bloody high off this love I’m having for someone that I shouldn’t.’ It’s saying, ‘Well, if I’m going to hell anyway, I’m going to set this place or the bed ablaze with my queerness’.”

Their third album, Dream Ride finds the Melbourne-born, LA-based musical polymath playing every instrument and teaming back up with co-writer/producer Aidan Hogg to create an album that both unpacks their experience as a queer, non-binary artist and is unabashedly inspired by Bruce Springsteen, late-night drives around Los Angeles, ‘80s reverb, and maximalist drums.
About the album G said, “Dream Ride is my little ‘80s Butch Springsteen fantasy. This record was written, recorded, and produced in my studio in LA with Aidan Hogg. We made over 100 songs to get to the final 10 that make up the album.
“This album is inspired by the ‘80s. I’ve always resonated with ‘80s music, it embodies so much musicality – larger-than-life theatrics, bright colours, epic solos, huge drum tones, and a sonic landscape that feels like a movie. I wanted to embody all of this on this record and create my own ‘80s world. I wanted to make songs that make you dance, sing, cry, f*ck, laugh, and enjoy on a long drive.
“I hope this record feels familiar and original, old and new, nostalgic yet still present. I hope you enjoy the Dream Ride.”
