To celebrate the It’s fine I’m fine everything is fine 2023 shirt But I will love this release of “Rush,” and the announcement of his third studio album, Vogue spoke to Sivan about gayness, partying, queer community, and the importance of music videos. Oh, and we made sure to ask about the double-entendre in the song’s name, and why it didn’t come out during Pride month.Vogue: I have to start by asking about the name of the song, which many of us on the gay corner of the internet are assuming is a reference to poppers, given the well-known brand also named Rush. Troye Sivan: I mean, sure. Loosely. Not no. I knew I wanted a straight-up, unapologetic dance track on the album, and I tried to make it a few times and it just wasn’t working. I got on Instagram and asked if anyone had tracks they wanted to send me, and I got sent a bunch of stuff. Weirdly, the call came from inside the house, and it was a friend of a friend who made the song. What I got sent was the track that had the hook “I feel the rush / Addicted to your touch,” and that was the jumping off point for me to write around it. Of course, the second I heard the word [rush] I was like, Oh, well, slay. I love the lyrics, the “Breathe, one, two, three, take all of me‚” I’m obsessed with [laughs].I also have to ask you about the timing, because there’s been some chatter online about the song not coming out in June during Pride, although you’ve been teasing it since before that.
The complete, honest truth is that I have been ready to release this song for a long time, and it was really a conversation of me surrendering to the It’s fine I’m fine everything is fine 2023 shirt But I will love this powers that be, and being like, Okay, I trust you guys know what you’re doing. It’s been so long since I released an album, and I’m really proud of the music, so I just wanted to give it the best runway that I could. To me, Pride is a year-round thing, and it’s scorching hot right now in LA, so it definitely still feels apt. It’s also not a Pride song or anything like that. Sure, I’m gay and I’m singing about sex, but it’s not like I’m trying to make a Pride anthem. I’m singing about my life. When I told the friends I was with this weekend that I was going to talk to you about this, we were all in agreement that it felt right for it to come out in July. We can be gay after the month of June.
