Oh! That I have lived to see such a day!
Twinkly pop superstar/skinny legend Troye Sivan appeared on the Today Show this morning to sing two songs “Bloom“ & the first single from his new album “My My My.” Not sure whether the audience was aware of it, but the song “Bloom” is a delightful ode to having anal sex for the first time.
Watch below:
The lyrics:
And it’s true, baby
I’ve been saving this for you, babyI guess it’s something like a fun fair
Put gas into the motor
And boy I’ll meet you right there
We’ll ride the rollercoasterTell 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
(Yeah I bloom) I bloom just for you
(I bloom) just for you
Come on, baby, play me like a love song
Every time it comes on
I get this sweet desire
(Yeah I bloom) I bloom just for you
(I bloom) just for you…
Although Sivan has yet to acknowledge the song’s true meaning he did say to Popjustice back in February
“I wrote it with [songwriter] Leland and we were dying laughing and just having the best time writing it. Lyrically I think it’s the most subversively queer song on the album. That’s kind of what makes me like it so much — it’s almost like a little inside joke.”
“I wanna play that song at every Pride,” he added in a recent interview with Dazed. “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 recently told Another Man magazine he didn’t want to be referred to as a a gay icon, but I think after today’s performance there’s no denying this kid is well on his way to earning that moniker.
