Hot on the heels of his hit single “Rush” — which has amassed over 180 million combined global streams to date — Troye Sivan unleashes “Got Me Started,” the second single from his forthcoming album, Something To Give Each Other. Produced by Ian Kirkpatrick (Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez), the track samples “Shooting Stars” from Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders. Sivan wrote “Got me Started” with Kirkpatrick, Leland, Tayla Parx and Kaelyn Behr.
Sivan dances his way through the streets and clubs of Bangkok, Thailand in the dazzling video for “Got Me Started” which features cameos from actor/fellow UMG recording artist PP Krit and drag queens Warit Kesmanee (Miss Gimhuay), Angele-Anang Pokinwuttipob (Angele), Yutthaphichai Deleon (Gigi), Thanisorn Hengsoontorn (Anne Maywong) and Tharathep Thaweephon (Gawdland). He shot “Got Me Started” with his team from the “Rush” video — director Gordon von Steiner (Hermès Ski, Versace Man FW22, Dior Route, Louis Vuitton Cruise, Miu Miu), cinematographer Stuart Winecoff (JAY Z, FKA twigs, Miu Miu) and choreographer Sergio Reis (BTS’ “Black Swan”).
Set to be released on October 13 by Capitol Records, Something To Give Each Other is available for pre-order here. Fans who pre-order the digital edition will instantly receive “Got Me Started” and “Rush.” The New York Times hailed “Rush” as “a sweaty, kinetic, gloriously hedonistic summer dance floor anthem.” Pitchfork said, “Sivan, already an expert at making winky, subtextual pop songs, manages to inject this trope with virility, producing a sublime, orgiastic summer anthem.”
Twenty-two billion streams and 10 million adjusted albums sold worldwide are milestones only a few artists can claim. Doing it by age 28 is another thing entirely. Throw in a range of standout roles in Hollywood features, high fashion collabs, runway appearances and a combined social audience of over 30 million and the list really boils down to one person — Troye Sivan.
