Debuting at Number One on the Gay Radio Network and at Number Two on Outvoices Top 40, 'Alpha Male is a sensual, psychological song that carries both a flirtation and a dare; a direct challenge to traditional patriarchal stereotypes of power and dominance or in *V*I*R*G*O*s own words, [I wanted to] pose a challenge to men who act like its a personal achievement to be born with a penis."
