Khalid is \u201cfully liberated\u201d in the music video for his new single, \u2018Out of Body\u2019.<\/p>\n
The second release from his new album, the club-friendly, Darkchild-produced anthem blends 00s R&B and dance influences. Lyrically, Khalid yearns so intensely for a love interest that he feels \u201cout of body.\u201d<\/p>\n
Directed by Levi Turner, the accompanying video sees Khalid and his troupe performing sultry choreography on a dimly lit street, before he and his first-ever on-screen gay love interest take their teasing to a public toilet.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Khalid said: \u201cThis is me in my fully liberated element.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Out of Body\u2019 follows \u2018In Plain Sight\u2019 as the second single from his fourth album, After the Sun Goes Down<\/em>, which is due for release on 10 October.<\/p>\n Khalid previously said the album is \u201cabout taking my power back, living in my truth, and being able to express myself freely\u201d, adding: \u201cI\u2019m excited for my fans to experience this new era with me, not just musically, but personally.\u201d<\/p>\n This new era marks Khalid\u2019s first since publicly coming out as gay. He confirmed his sexuality in November 2024 after being outed<\/a>, telling fans: \u201cAnd the world still continues to turn\u2026 I am not ashamed of my sexuality.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Khalid (@thegr8khalid)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
