"The Red Means I Love You" is an English-language fansong for My Hero Academia, written and performed by Madds Buckley. The song is centered around Himiko Toga, one of the series' villains. Originally posted on TikTok in 2021[1], the song was officially released as part of Buckley's Sunset on Summerville album in 2022.[2] As of December 2022, it has over 2.3 million views on YouTube[3] and over 63 million streams on Spotify.[4]
Although Buckley was very clear on the song's meaning and connection to My Hero Academia, many listeners outside of fandom were initially confused about its meaning, believing it to be about lesbian period sex.[5][6]
