I feel it creeping up on me
Every time you call
And I can tell it's your perfume
All the way from down the hall
I told myself no a million times
But here you are
And I know all your crimes
But do what you want

I see the fire in your eyes
I feel the sparks begin to fly
I hear the warning in my mind
But there ain't no escape tonight

Woah oh oh
Now I'm gonna choose
Now I'm gonna lose
Gets me high so fast
Til I can't come back
Woah oh oh
Now I'm gonna choose
Now I'm gonna lose
Hear the sirens ring
I'm not listening

They're screaming
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Woah oh oh

They're screaming
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Woah oh oh

One look and I'm carried away
Swept up in your tornado
But where will I end up, baby?
If you never let me go

I see the fire in your eyes
I feel the sparks begin to fly
I feel your hands reaching for mine (For mine)
And I can't run and I can't hide

Woah oh oh
Now I'm gonna choose
Now I'm gonna lose
Gets me high so fast
Til I can't come back
Woah oh oh
Now I'm gonna choose
Now I'm gonna lose
Hear the sirens ring
I'm not listening

They're screaming
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Woah oh oh

They're screaming
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Woah oh oh

Seems like everywhere I go
Boy I see ya, see ya
Seems like no matter what I do
I need ya, need ya
Can't lie and say I didn't wanna be here, be here
But now with every touch
I cannot get enough

Waking up in the dead of the night
(Dead of the night)
Overthinking and I'm still mystified
Will you leave if I let you inside?
(Let you inside)
Hear alarms going off in my mind

They're screaming
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Woah oh oh

They're screaming
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger
Woah oh oh

They're screaming

Woah oh oh

They're screaming

"Bubble" 
Written by Reid Zakos & Raene

Veil on your eye
Take up my precious time
Your misfortune becomes mine
With the delusion you define
Oh Oh
Let go, let go, let go
Of your control
You will never live
Until you let go
Who cares what they're thinking?
Just go
Oh
Oh
Floating around in your fragile bubble
Come up for air and try some trouble
Weightless, whimsical, enough expectation
Let go of all your limitations
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Bail on my best advice
Take up my precious time
I either sink or sympathize
You're so quick to criticize
Oh Oh
Let go, let go, let go
Of your control
You will never live until you let go
Who cares what they're thinking?
Just go
Oh
Oh!
Floating around in your fragile bubble
(Floating around in your fragile bubble)
Come up for air and try some trouble
Weightless, whimsical, enough expectation
(Expectation)
Let go of all your limitations
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
Make your own magic
And your own misery
Take what you are
I hope you find clarity
Make your own magic
And your own misery
You're the missing piece
You won't find it if you're
Floating around in your fragile bubble
(Floating around in your fragile bubble)
Come up for air and try some trouble
(Try some trouble oh!)
Weightless, whimsical, enough expectation
(Enough expectation!)
Let go of all your limitations
(Oh yeah!)
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
(Oh yeah!)
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
(Oh yeah!)
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble
(Oh yeah!)
Let go
Let go
Of your bubble, bubble

"Won't Go"
Written by Reid Zakos & RedPanda Productions

Won't Go (feat. RedPanda Productions)

"Lights Out" was written all the way back in 2010/2011 by Reid Zakos, and Toronto based DJ/Producer/Beat-maker Elliott Cesta, also known as DJ Shaw T.

At the time, Reid had recently come out as gay and also became legal drinking age in Calgary, Alberta that year. He began going out to gay nightclubs and bars and began to accept himself and his queer identity with a group of close friends dubbed "The Fab Four". 

Reid was inspired by artists such as Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, and Britney Spears at the time, and he approached writing this topline with confidence, swagger, and talk-singing-pseudo-rap with confidence and self-acceptance.

As he was recording and writing the demo he had a few lyrics flowing but wasn't sure of a title or a concept yet. Divine timing and inspiration hit as coincidentally, all the lights in Reid's room burnt out. He instantly thought "Oooh! Lights Out would be a great title" and then proceeded to finish the song in under 10 minutes.

"Lights Out" quickly became a favorite and quotable track of Reid's friends, and was performed at many house parties and local nightclubs. 

Fast forward now to 2023, Reid was encouraged by close friends to possibly revisit the song and consider releasing it on streaming platforms. He was hesitant at first, but decided to re-record the vocals, alter a few lyrics, and give it an official release treatment because he thought the rest of the world should have access to this fun track and "get wild, be free"

What am I falling into
I think I’m falling for you
What am I falling into
I think I’m falling for you

Gravity don’t exist no more
Waves and tides knock me back down on the shore
Deja-vu, intuition, have I seen this before
Picture perfect, sky blue, accept me to my core

Taken by the rush
And every moment with you
Holding back the crush
What am I falling into
Ooh ooh
Into
Ooh ooh

Falling

Falling In
Falling Falling In
Falling Falling Falling Into ooh
Falling

(I think I’m falling, falling)
I think I’m falling for you
(Oh)
What am I falling into
(I think I’m falling, falling)
Think I’m falling for you (Yeah)

Fantasy washes out with the sea
And when it returns where will we be
Long distance premonition yeah, I’ve tried it before
But baby you feel different 
Will we get an encore

Taken by the rush 
(Rush)
And every moment with you
Holding back the crush 
(Crush)
What am I falling into
Into ooh ooh
Yeah

Leading you on

Leading you on oh woah oh

I don’t know what to do
Can’t find the right words to say
All I know is babe
You don’t have to runaway

Taken by the rush 
(Rush)
And every moment with you (Oh woah oh)
Holding back the crush 
(Crush)
What am I falling into
Into ohh
What am I falling into
Yeah

Falling

Falling (featuring RedPanda Productions)

Reid Zakos is a dancepop gladiator slaying his own path. Born in Calgary into a musical family, he always possessed an undeniable stage presence and infectious charisma. He began songwriting as a way to free himself from all the bullying he faced growing up for being different. Many of his lyrics are centred around self-empowerment from an unapologetically queer perspective. Immersed in years of dance and theatre training, performing became escapism and he would grow into the triple-threat performer he was always born to be. Now based in Vancouver, his first album “Legends & Myths” was released in 2020, inspired by nudisco and retrowave production. 
Reid then continued collaborating and experimenting with electronic dance and pop artists on various singles and remixes with Paul Michael, Khaled Rahime, RedPanda Productions, and Jayden Mckenzie. Singles such as “Doctor Smile” and “POSE” dipped into more house and nightclub-ready soundscapes. In 2023, Reid released his second album “Brighter”, featuring more 2010s-inspired dancefloor pop. “Lights Out” and “A World of Yes” give into the party on the dancefloor while other tracks like “Danger” and “Bubble” show more sophistication and maturity to his vulnerability as a songwriter.

Stay tuned for more music in 2024!
