"Sorry Bro (I Love You)" is a song by American recording artist Dorian Electra, released as the lead single from their second studio album My Agenda on May 19, 2020. An album of remixes by various artists was released on June 23, 2020. [1]
Produced by Count Baldor and Dylan Brady and written by Electra and Mood Killer, "Sorry Bro (I Love You)" features "medieval harpsichords, ravey synths and a blown-out dubstep trap beat" with elements of baroque pop over a campy hyperpop sound. Like many Dorian Electra songs, the "tongue-in-cheek" track evokes common tropes of toxic masculinity, but subverts them by adding homoerotic undertones. [2] [3] These themes are played up in the Weston Allen-directed video, which features Electra skateboarding, lifting weights, and "crack[ing] open a cold one with their ‘bros’". [4]
