Rumours
Rumours by Manatomy is a dramatic Manatomy track about gossip, reputation, and the stories people tell when they cannot look away. Confident and queer positive, it turns whispers into fuel, making scandal feel like another reason to own the room. The pride energy comes through in the production as much as the lyrics. Anthemic and community-built, it is made for the moments that need music that matches the room – big energy, clear identity. The lyrics are below.
Rumours is queer community life as a dance track – the whispers, the drama, the chaotic warmth of being known by people who know. Vol.5’s most socially aware moment. For LGBTQI+ anthems Australia, the energy is deliberate and community-built.
For anyone building a pride dance music playlist, Rumours earns its place through specificity. The identity in the lyrics is clear, the production supports it, and the Manatomy brand behind it is distinctly Australian and distinctly queer. That combination is not accidental – it is exactly what the track was built to represent.
Whether it lands in a Pride playlist or a late-night set built around queer anthems, the energy carries. The production was built to represent the community it came from, and that intent holds from the first bar to the last.
Fans of this track often come back for Don’t Rush Me and Heel Toe, Show Me Bro.

Lyrics
Spinnin' tales 'bout me and you
Sayin' we ain't nothin', just a phase
Whisperin' lies in a hazy maze
But rumors are just words in the air
Empty nothin' if we don't care
Let 'em judge, let 'em stare
We got a fire that they can't compare
Spread a rumour it ain't it, we can change that me n u
Let 'em think we're broken, baby, we'll show 'em what we can do
They can't handle the heat, the passion burnin' so true
Spread a rumour it ain't it, watch us rewrite the truth
U said I got tied to my bed, chained up giving head
Said I took it from two dudes, yo ur mates looks really good
Let 'em paint me as a sinner, a freak, a disgrace
I'll wear that crown with a smile on my face
'Cause rumors are just words in the air
Empty nothin' if we don't care
Let 'em judge, let 'em stare
We got a fire that they can't compare
Spread a rumour it ain't it, we can change that me n u
Let 'em think we're broken, baby, we'll show 'em what we can do
They can't handle the heat, the passion burnin' so true
Spread a rumour it ain't it, watch us rewrite the truth
They try to shame us, try to control
But our love's a story they can't unfold
We'll break the chains, shatter the mold
Let our desires be brave and bold
Spread a rumour it ain't it, we can change that me n u
Let 'em think we're broken, baby, we'll show 'em what we can do
They can't handle the heat, the passion burnin' so true
Spread a rumour it ain't it, watch us rewrite the truth
Rewrite the truth, yeah
Me and you, yeah
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare
We don't care, we don't care
Rewrite the truth
