Billy Porter takes center stage in the vivacious video for ‘Children.’

The track serves as the first offering from the Emmy winner since he signed with Republic Records.

True to form, the song and visual find the ‘Pose’ star championing empowerment, self-expression, and flair in earnest.

Speaking on the release, Porter said:

“The song is about choosing yourself. that choosing one’s personal authenticity is the only way to live – and then using the power of that choice to help others make the same choice.

“The song has a universal message, but I really wanted the vibe of the visual to be about celebrating our community. We are all the children. I was also excited that we were able to cast our beautiful array of extras with help from the Ali Forney Center, a place that is very special to me and that does such great work.”
