Troye Sivan wrote the album with Oscar Görres (Taylor Swift, Sam Smith), Ian Kirkpatrick (Dua Lipa, Britney Spears), Leland (Selena Gomez, Ava Max) and Styalz Fuego (Khalid, Imagine Dragons). He said in a statement, “‘Rush’ is the feeling of kissing a sweaty stranger on a dancefloor, a 2 hour date that turned into a weekend, a crush, a winter, a summer. Party after party, after party after after party. All of my experiences from a chapter where I feel confident, free and liberated. Independent, yet somehow the most connected to the music and community around me.”
He also shared his excitement for his new album on social media, saying, “This album is my something to give you – a kiss on a dancefloor, a date turned into a weekend, a crush, a winter, a summer.

The album title, Something to Give Each Other, reflects Troye Sivan’s desire to share his experiences and emotions with his fans and listeners. He told Rolling Stone, “I wanted to make something that felt like it was giving something back to people who have given me so much over the years.”
