The 22-year-old Australian singer Troye Sivan wears the mantle of outspoken gay pop stardom with preternatural grace. He captured the bliss and anguish of coming out and living freely with his promising debut LP, 2015’s Blue Neighbourhood, and a series of ambitious videos that depicted an ill-fated teenage romance. With his throbbing new single “My My My!”—one of the first great songs of this young year—Sivan is celebrating pure joy, the feeling of being swept up and rendered invincible by new love.

Sivan’s always sung with subtle confidence, but he’s never sounded this assured: Over an airy beat and beds of pitch-shifted vocals, he dictates the pace of a steamy hook-up and embraces his ability to generate lust. He lets his guard down for a moment during the bridge, but he’s not worrying about what people might think. He’s just imagining how far this fling can go: “Should be the last night ever/Should be the last night we’re apart.” Strutting through an empty warehouse in the magnetic Grant Singer-directed video, he strikes a radiant figure. “I’m just trying to show people that you can be queer, live your life, and be happy,” Sivan told Teen Vogue last year. Mission accomplished.
