Troye Sivan has unleashed his latest single Got Me Started – the second track to be lifted from his forthcoming album, ‘Something To Give Each Other’.
The follow-up to the massive Rush is produced by Ian Kirkpatrick, who co-wrote and produced Dua Lipa’s New Rules and Don’t Start Now, and samples Shooting Stars from Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders.
Of the track, Troye says: “When we were writing this song, I was emphatic about using Shooting Stars — I just kept humming it in the studio. It’s a huge sample and was a big ask; and I knew that they had never approved it in the past.
“So I’m over the moon about the opportunity to sample that track because this song is iconic to me. And then we have Ian Kirkpatrick on production, who is a genius. I love his work – he had this plan to record the vocal at a slower speed and then speed it up, and ultimately that’s what you hear in the chorus. I instantly loved the way it sounded.”
Alongside the single, a music video sees the superstar dancing his way through the streets and clubs of Bangkok, Thailand, and features cameos from actor/fellow UMG recording artist PP Krit, along with drag queens Warit Kesmanee (Miss Gimhuay), Angele-Anang Pokinwuttipob (Angele), Yutthaphichai Deleon (Gigi), Thanisorn Hengsoontorn (Anne Maywong) and Tharathep Thaweephon (Gawdland).
