Australian popster Troye Sivan has gone rogue! The singer had originally planned on releasing his new song “Take Yourself Home” later in the year, but the current climate has pushed him to release it now after seeing it in a different light considering the world in which we are currently living.
Speaking about his new track, Troye Sivan said the following in the press release:
‘Take Yourself Home’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” says Troye Sivan. “The song is kind of a pep talk with yourself and the place you’re from. Grappling with your place in the world. I write these songs as a diary entry, then as life and places change and relationships change, songs can take on a new meaning entirely. Clearly that has happened for this song, with what is going on in the world right now.

But Sivan isn’t just using this moment to release some music he’d been sitting on. In an Instagram post, he said, “FREELANCE ARTISTS (GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, ANIMATION ARTISTS) HMU I WANT TO WORK WITH YOU AND TAKE THE MONEY I WOULD BE SPENDING ON MUSIC VIDEOS AND GIVE IT TO YOU.” I give major props to dude for using his platform to put out a call for creatives to develop visual elements for the rollout of “Take Yourself Home.”
Troye has also launched three t-shirts, designed by @jacktaylorlovatt and @Lanning and sourced via Instagram, with all proceeds to be donated to WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and Spotify’s COVID-19 Music Relief project.
