Fans Lose It as RetroPopBoy Revives Girls Aloud Classic With Queer Twist

RetroPopBoy returns with «On the Metro», a euphoric reboot of the Girls Aloud favourite produced by Bearly Disco. Blending queer nightlife, guerrilla filmmaking and glossy pop nostalgia, the track marks his boldest post‑chart‑topping era yet.

RetroPopBoy charges into his next era with «On the Metro», a neon‑bright reboot of the Girls Aloud cult favourite that’s already sending queer pop fans into meltdown. Fresh from three LGBTQ Music Chart Top 10 hits — including the Number One smash «Sorrow Town» — he teams up with remix heavyweight Bearly Disco, who gives the Nicola Roberts‑co‑written track a euphoric, modern sheen while keeping its original pop sparkle intact.

The video dives straight into London’s queer nightlife, shot guerrilla‑style inside the Royal Vauxhall Tavern and across the Victoria Line as RetroPopBoy chases a mysterious man who vanishes from the dancefloor. He laughs about filming without permission, even performing the routine twice in the RVT toilets, calling it one of the most fun moments he’s ever had there. With its nostalgia, nerve and cheeky chaos, On the Metro is RetroPopBoy at his boldest.
