Jeffrey Chan delivers a hypnotic Queer Club Anthem with "Looking"
Jeffrey Chan has long been a name to watch in the electro-pop underground — a master of pairing vulnerable storytelling with pulse-raising beats. With his latest single “Looking,” Chan firmly plants his flag in the center of the queer club scene, delivering a high-octane dance-pop anthem that celebrates connection, desire, and unapologetic self-expression.
Inspired by the loaded, often spoken phrase “are you looking?” — a staple of queer hookup vernacular — “Looking” is a track that understands the push-pull of modern connection in nightlife spaces. It’s more than just a dancefloor banger; it’s a nod to the coded language and electric moments exchanged between strangers under the haze of strobe lights and bass.
From the first throbbing synth pulse, co-produced with Australian DJ/producer Alex Lirosi, the track immerses you in its deep, tactile groove. The bass is thick and unrelenting, the kind of low end that you feel in your chest as much as you hear it. Crisp, shimmering hi-hats cut through the mix, while atmospheric pads give the track a nocturnal sheen, capturing the feeling of 2 a.m. euphoria on a crowded dancefloor.
Chan’s vocals are a revelation here — raw, commanding, and laced with just the right amount of sensual tension. He alternates between sleek, melodic verses and a hypnotic, spoken-hook chorus. It’s an irresistible earworm, the kind of hook that loops in your head long after the track fades out, beckoning you back to the floor for just one more song.
What makes “Looking” so effective is its immaculate production. Every element feels intentional — from the airy vocal layering to the subtle build-ups that burst into surging choruses. The track straddles a fine line between pop accessibility and underground grit, making it equally at home in a late-night club set or a high-energy festival playlist.
Lyrically, Chan keeps things deliciously suggestive, evoking the thrill of the chase without leaning into cliché. There’s a confidence in his delivery that elevates the track from flirtatious fun to a bold statement of queer visibility and liberation. In the context of his forthcoming EP — which promises to celebrate queer stories through beat-driven pop — “Looking” feels like both a party starter and a cultural touchstone.
It’s also a testament to Chan’s evolution as an artist. While he’s always shown a knack for sleek pop craftsmanship, this track sees him leaning harder into his club influences and embracing a bolder, more immediate sound. The result is one of his strongest, most infectious releases to date.
