You can watch the video for “He Said She Said” below.

In another Instagram posting, Tortorella shared the lyrics to the song. It opens with Tortorella singing, “She said I look just like Jesus, reminded her of her old man. He said I could be a princess, I wish I could just hold his hand.”

The video was directed by Tortorella’s brother, Rocco.

Last year, Tortorella told GLAAD that his recent role as a musician on Apple TV+’s City on Fire prompted him to start recording songs.

“City on Fire allowed me the opportunity to be in a recording studio and experience the art of crafting a song from beginning to end,” said Tortorella. “It was the first time I’ve really spent time in a booth like that.”

In a statement, Tortorella said, “It provided the catalyst for me to not only express myself artistically but also to embrace my truest essence. The studio became a sanctuary, where I could merge the worlds of character development and personal introspection, ultimately leading me to uncover a new facet of my creative identity.”
