Troye Sivan has released his latest music video “Wild,” featuring Alessia Cara, which shows the blissful innocence of young love.
In the video, a group of friends party together while falling in love. Different couples bloom from the group, both gay and straight.
Sivan, 21, finds himself falling for a boy and the couple indulge in lots of scenes flirting and kissing together.
At the end of the video, the screen turns into a rainbow with the hashtag #KeepOnKissing. According to MTV, the video has led to many of Sivan’s fans to come out or showcase their same-sex relationship on social media using the hashtag.
