G Flip has shared a string of sweet, somewhat stunned reaction videos on their social media profiles after their song, Bed On Fire, was featured on the popular new Amazon Prime Video series, Off Campus.

Released last September on the Aussie star’s latest album, Dream Ride, G Flip described Bed On Fire as one of their most personal tracks, exploring their queer awakening.

“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 shouldn’t be having,’” G Flip explained. “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.’”

Bed On Fire is a standout track from Dream Ride, which is G Flip’s take on an “’80s butch Springsteen fantasy.” However, its sync on Off Campus is heard during a steamy scene for a heterosexual couple, an experience G Flip quipped that they weren’t used to.

In follow-up videos, G Flip’s friends cheered as their friend’s song featured in the hugely popular drama series. The singer and multi-instrumentalist then thanked the Off Campus team for changing their life, adding that fans’ streams since the sync equated to “the most streams I’ve ever had in a day of my whole career.”

Last week, another Australian artist, REDD., shared a heartwarming video on social media after their song, Messy, featured in Off Campus.

“That’s so dope; that’s so weird hearing my song,” the singer excitedly said. “Just makes you feel so good. That’s it, how crazy!”

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone Australia, actor Josh Heuston – who’s Australian and stars in the series – remarked that it was important to feature Australian music to reflect his character’s background.

“When we made Justin Australian, I was saying all of the music influences from him have to be Australian,” he said. “Otherwise, it makes no sense for him to have the accent. Like, you’d have to be influenced if you’ve grown up in Australia long enough to have an accent.”
