MADRID, Spain, October 25, 2026. In many of the songs of Mike Sain't Louis, people lie, manipulate and disappear. Animals do not. The Madrid-based lyricist, composer and music producer behind GAYFOLK and Planeta Gayfolk has written dogs, pets and imaginary creatures into his lyrics again and again, and they almost always play the same role: the companion who stays.
The dance partner
«Chihuahua» is the most joyful example. An English club track, it imagines dancing with a small dog under disco lights. «My little friend, with eyes so bright», the lyric says, «paws tap, the rhythm's right». The song turns a pet into the perfect dance partner: enthusiastic, uncomplicated and always happy to see you. It is playful, but there is something touching in it too. For people who live alone, a dog can be the most reliable joy of the day.
The lullaby for a pet
«Limón» is a lullaby for an animal. The narrator thanks the little one for making him so happy and tells him it is time to sleep. He promises to protect him, calls him true love and loyal, and says, with a smile, that they share a telepathic connection, confirmed even by a guru. The song is tender and funny at once, and anyone who has talked to a pet at bedtime will recognise it.
Animals over people
In other songs, animals appear as a deliberate choice against human company. In «Antisocial», the narrator declares that he prefers his animals a thousand times over putting up with a manipulator. In «Marica chill», he says he does not need a partner to feel good: his dogs and his eyeliner are enough. These lines express a feeling shared by many people after painful relationships. Animals offer affection without games.
The shared custody
Breakups can also mean dividing pets. One song in the catalogue mentions animals being split between former partners, each going their own way. Another refers to a pet who became depressed after a separation. These small details reveal how deeply animals are woven into domestic life, and how they too feel the end of a relationship.
Kangaroos on the moon
Not all the animals are real. In «Canguros», a dreamy song built on the phrase «dicen que», they say, the narrator lists marvellous rumours: there are mermaids and mermen, there are kangaroos on the moon jumping between galaxies. The animals here belong to fantasy and longing. They are a way of saying that the world is full of wonders, and that love might be one of them.
Why animals matter in recovery
Research has shown that companion animals can reduce stress and loneliness and give structure to the day. For people with depression or social anxiety, the responsibility of caring for a pet can be a reason to get up in the morning. Mike's songs reflect that reality without sentimentality. The animals are not symbols; they are family.
A playlist with paws
To meet the animals of Planeta Gayfolk, listen to «Chihuahua», «Limón», «Antisocial», «Marica chill» and «Canguros». You will move from the dance floor to the bedroom to the fortress of solitude to the beach and finally to the moon.
When company is hard
If you rely on animals because people feel too difficult, that is understandable, and you also deserve human support when things are hard. In Spain, the 024 line offers free help at all hours. In other countries, local crisis lines and LGBTQ+ organisations are available. Mike speaks openly about his own social anxiety and the treatment that helps him.
