I was getting dressed for this rooftop party downtown—one of those tequila-heavy nights where you just know someone’s gonna hook up with a stranger in a stairwell. The theme was “freaky fashion,” and I was elbows-deep in my closet trying to decide if gold lamé and faux fur clashed or screamed slutty fashionista when my best friend texted: “Listen to this now. Trust me.”
I tapped the link, still in my bra and one boot, and the second that funky bassline hit, it was like I time-traveled to a velvet-roped 1970s disco—but with a modern snarl. Sammyfunk’s “Versace Boots” didn’t just flirt—it bent me over the kitchen counter and whispered disco fantasies straight into my ear. It glittered harder than my eyeliner, slinked harder than my hips, and told every cell in my body to move. By the fourth spin, I was strutting around my apartment in nothing but heels and confidence, tipsy-lip syncing into my wine glass: “Have you seen my Versace boots?”
Yes, bitch. I’ve seen them. And I want a pair in every color!

Sammyfunk is the glitter-dripping brainchild of Sammy T. Taylor—a rock ‘n’ roll frontman with the feral sex appeal of Jagger, the chaos of Iggy, and the cheeky brilliance of someone who once wrote for FHM and Sesame Street in the same damn decade. His past lives include acting in trashy soap operas and selling cars in commercials, and it shows—in the best way. The man doesn’t just sing, he performs like your favorite bad decision. He says he’s an actor who plays with musicians, not one of those pedalboard-obsessed guitar bros, and babe, you can feel it in every single beat. “Versace Boots” isn’t trying to be cool. It knows it is—and it dares you to keep up.
The lyrics are pure cocaine-glam: “Disco diva said to me she said to me: ‘Hey Mister! I value your opinion ‘cause you’re such a fashionista…’”
Like, who writes that? Who pulls that off without sounding ridiculous? SammyfuckinFunk does. This track is ridiculous on purpose. It’s hot, cheeky, and strutting past velvet ropes with a wink and no panties.
And that Karachi-born DJ in the lyrics? I swear I met his cousin last summer at a rave in Ibiza. This whole song feels like that kind of night—the kind you wake up from with glitter in your cleavage and a name you don’t remember saved in your phone as “Disco Daddy.”

By the time I actually made it to the party, I was already sweaty from dancing like a maniac. And when some tall drink of trouble complimented my boots, I didn’t just smile—I locked eyes, leaned in, and purred: “Have you seen my Versace boots?” like it was foreplay.
This track? It’s not just a bop. It’s an invitation—to grind, to laugh, to misbehave. It’s a fuck-you to subtlety. It’s for the girls who make out in the back of Ubers, who leave lipstick on strangers and regrets on voicemail.
So go ahead. Turn it up. Let it pour into your bloodstream like champagne and bad ideas. And don’t be surprised when you end up online at 3 AM searching “sequin boots that say I came to fuck shit up.”
