Corry Michaels Turns Up the Heat with 'Be My Baby (Tonight)'

If you're not already on the Corry Michaels train, now is the time to hop on, buckle up, and maybe pour yourself a cold drink—because his latest single, “Be My Baby (Tonight)”, is serving sexy, synthy, late-night heat with just the right dose of steamy elegance.

Michaels, the Cleveland-born alt electro-pop artist known for infusing his music with soul, heartache, and high-octane polish, delivers a track that doesn’t just invite you in—it seduces you with eye contact and a slow-burning smirk. It’s the kind of song you put on when the room’s a little too quiet, the lights are already low, and the vibe is leaning more toward “say less” and “move closer".

Produced by Corry himself alongside Nate Saggio (who’s worked with names like Chayla Hope and Sir Yacht), “Be My Baby (Tonight)” is a lush, pulsing invitation to lean into your desires—no shame, no apologies. It balances Michaels’ emotionally rich vocals with glittery synth textures and smooth, deliberate beats that practically dance down your spine.

But don’t get it twisted—this isn’t a raunchy club track or an over-sexualized thirst trap. It's a respectful, confident nod to adult intimacy: all the late-night vulnerability and silent tension that hangs in the air when you're both thinking it, but no one’s said it yet.

This track feels like that moment.

Visually, “Be My Baby (Tonight)” doesn’t just support the track—it elevates it. Directed by Corry Michaels and Marc Moore, the music video unfurls like an erotic dream caught between sleep and surrender. Set entirely in a shadowy bedroom, the story follows a sensual, internal journey told entirely from Michaels’ perspective.

It’s sexy, yes—but make no mistake: this is art. There’s an intentional choreography to the movements, a pulse to the lighting, and a tension that builds through teasing vignettes. The partners are unseen, faceless—because the fantasy isn’t about them. It’s about Corry. And by extension, it’s about you. Your gaze, your desires, your experience.

The standout? A subtle but powerful feature of ONE Condoms—not hidden in a drawer or blurred into the background, but front and center. A reminder that safety and sensuality can co-exist. In fact, they belong together.

Released during Pride Month, this track isn’t just another hot drop. It’s a clear, confident declaration: queer pleasure belongs here. In pop. In visuals. In conversations. In celebration.

Corry has always been vocal about his identity and the importance of honest, inclusive storytelling—and “Be My Baby (Tonight)” is the exclamation point on that mission. It doesn’t code queer longing; it centers it. And it does so in a way that’s as empowering as it is evocative.

As Michaels himself puts it, the song was the missing piece of his latest album—adding a necessary layer of lust and conflict to an otherwise emotionally broad collection. It’s the song that says, “I want you,” and the visual that asks, “Do you want me too?”

Spoiler: You probably do.

If you're craving more (and let’s be honest, you will be), keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming acoustic performance film, a 20-minute mini-concert born from a college class project. The first sneak peek? A stripped-down version of “Be My Baby (Tonight)” that swaps steamy synths for piano and atmosphere—proving the song’s emotional core doesn’t need production to hit deep.

Filmed at TRI-C’s student studios and created with a small team of friends and fellow creatives, this version shows another side of Corry: the raw storyteller. No lights, no choreography—just voice, melody, and honesty. And somehow, that makes it even more intimate.

Corry Michaels’ “Be My Baby (Tonight)” is a sonic slow burn that feels like a confession whispered just loud enough for someone to hear. It’s confident, classy, and completely unbothered by whether you’re ready for it—because it knows you are.

So dim the lights, press play, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing a little closer to someone by the end of the night.

And if you’re dancing alone? Even better—Corry’s already got the perfect soundtrack for that, too.
