It Ain’t Right
It Ain’t Right by Manatomy is an emotional Manatomy track about knowing something is off, even when the attraction is still there. It blends queer vulnerability with dance pop tension, capturing the conflict between desire, instinct, and walking away from what does not sit right. 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.
It Ain’t Right is about wanting something you probably should not and wanting it anyway. Vol.5’s most honest track about the desires that do not fit the tidy narrative. For LGBTQI+ anthems Australia, the energy is deliberate and community-built.
For anyone building a gay pride music playlist, It Ain’t Right 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.

Lyrics
Lip gloss, tongue ring
Say you wanna "try some shit"
See what the night brings
GPS off, we just follow red lights
Handcuffs in your backpack
You don't pack light
You say"Boy I'm straight" with my name on your throat
Halo on your chest and a devil in your coat
I'm laughing in your ear while you're gripping my thigh
If that's you going "straight" then straight's a fucking lie
I'm turning
Turning left
It ain't right
You keep saying "no homo" in my bed at midnight
You're twisting up the sheets
Calling me "daddy" all night
I'm turning
Turning left
It ain't right
Got your back against the door while you beg me "hold tight"
If this is wrong as hell then fuck it
I'm your green light
Im turning
Turning left
It ain't right
You freeze when I say "boyfriend" then you kiss too long
You fumble with your zipper but your hands stay strong
You blush when I say "good boy" then you bite my neck
You're soft with your words but your kink's a train wreck
You say "Don't tell my friends" with your knees on the floor
You're "straight" till I walk in
Then you lock the door
Your playlist's all church but you're preaching my name
If loving how you moan is a sin
I'll take the blame
I'm turning
Turning left
It ain't right
You keep saying "no homo" in my bed at midnight
You're twisting up the sheets
Calling me "daddy" all night
I'm turning
Turning left
It ain't right
Got your back against the door while you beg me "hold tight"
If this is wrong as hell then fuck it
I'm your green light
Im turning
Turning left
It ain't right
You say "I'm not like that"
While you're on my lap
Hands tied
Eyes wide
Yeah
You love this trap (oh yeah)
You swear you're not queer
While you choke on my fear
While you bite
Scratch
Scream
Till the neighbours hear
I'm turning
Turning left
It ain't right
You keep saying "no homo" in my bed at midnight
You're twisting up the sheets
Calling me "daddy" all night
I'm turning
Turning left
It ain't right
Got your back against the door while you beg me "hold tight"
If this is wrong as hell then fuck it
I'm your green light
Im turning, turning left
It ain't right
