Troye Sivan has released another single, “Bloom,” from his still-untitled second album.
Sivan, 22, explained to Dazed that the song is “about flowers.”
“It’s 100 percent about flowers! That’s all it is. Call it whatever you wanna call it. I wanna play that song at every Pride. There’s almost a radicalism in just truth, you know? The most radical thing that I can do is share how happy I am,” Sivan says.
While Sivan does sing about flowers, the sexually charged lyrics indicate Sivan is singing about a different type of “bloom.”
“Cause it’s true, baby/ I’ve been saving this for you, baby/ I need you to tell me right before it goes down/ Promise me you’ll hold my hand if I get scared now/ Might tell you to take a second, baby, slow it down/ You should know I, you should know I/ Yeah I bloom, I bloom just for you/ I bloom just for you,” Sivan sings on the track.
Sivan headlines Capital Pride Festival, along with Alessia Cara, on Saturday, June 10.
