The glam pop-rock group Fab the Duo made a splash with the 2019 song "I Want a Man." Now real-life boyfriends Greg Driscoll and Brendan Eprile are back with the help of rapper Mariahlynn with a video for "No Prince Charming," an anthem about female empowerment and autonomy.

In the video, a young woman catches her man cheating with another woman. But with the help of her gay guy glam squad and her crew of female friends, she moves on to bigger and better things.

"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," the song goes.

"'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," Fab the Duo said in a release.

Driscoll and Eprile, who met on Tinder and who call themselves the "modern-day Sonny and Cher (but we're both Cher)," seek to change attitudes about LGBTQ love and relationships through their music.

"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," they said.
