Real Life Couple Fab the Duo Debut Self-Love Anthem 'No Prince Charming'
Fab the Duo, a biracial glam pop-rock duo and real-life couple, have released “No Prince Charming,” their latest song and video and follow-up to their viral 2019 hit, “I Want A Man.” The new release from the self-described “modern day Sonny and Cher (but we’re both Cher)” is an upbeat empowerment anthem that assures listeners, “I don’t need no Prince Charming to save me/I don’t need no dragon just to slay,” because “all I need is me.”
Of the new release, Fab The Duo explain:
“‘No Prince Charming’ is about realizing your own worth and knowing you don’t need anyone but yourself to make you happy. Even though we’re a couple, we’re also very strong individuals and we wouldn’t be able to be together if we weren’t confident in who we are.”
The duo adds:
“Finding love in the gay community can be super hard - we’re often separated into obscure groups divided by race or body type. It can be superficial and demeaning. Everyone needs to be reminded that they’re fabulous and deserve nothing but the best.”

“No Prince Charming” features Mariahlynn, the superstar rapper and former “Love & Hip Hop: New York” cast member. On the track the “Once Upon A Time (Not Long Ago, I Was a Hoe)” artist confirms, “yes I am a princess, not the one you need to save.”
On working with Mariahlynn, Fab the Duo says:
“Having someone so talented and influential in the studio with us collaborating on our song was the best feeling in the world. We’ve been obsessed with her song ‘Once Upon A Time’ because, in a slut-shaming world, it takes a lot of guts for a woman to proudly admit that ‘she was a hoe.’”
On “No Prince Charming” the duo has again joined forces with two-time Grammy®-winning Producer JC Losada "Mr. Sonic" (Shakira, Ricky Martin) and will continue their distribution through Sonic Projects and Sony Music.

Fab The Duo, who met each other on Tinder, are aiming to change the cultural narrative about love in the LGBTQ space.
“We’re two men in a healthy relationship not afraid to sing about being gay. Our main goal is to be the heroes we never had growing up. There’s no shame in being authentic and loving who you want. In short, our love is resistance.”
“I Want A Man” helped establish Fab The Duo’s reputation for catchy melodies and visually bold scenery and “No Prince Charming” continues this legacy. An EP from the duo is expected later this year.
