Troye Sivan has released the title track from his upcoming fourth studio album, She’s The Best, describing the new single as a heartfelt love letter to the extraordinary women who have shaped his life and career. The 31-year-old Australian singer dropped the track ahead of the album’s October 9 release, accompanying the music video with a cinematic visual that features his former Boy Erased co-star Nicole Kidman, according to reporting from Yahoo News UK.
The single arrives as part of a busy creative chapter for Sivan, who has spent over a decade building a distinct pop footprint since his early days on YouTube. Speaking to fans and press, the artist emphasized that the new project serves as both a personal celebration and a tribute to the feminine-presenting figures, drag queens, and trans women who have anchored his creative identity.
According to Yahoo News UK, the music video for She’s The Best opens with a striking sequence of Kidman, 59, stepping out of a car in sunglasses while smoking a cigarette. Sivan watches her from a nearby cafe window before the action shifts to a nightclub dressing room filled with drag performers and women preparing for a performance. Sivan eventually takes the stage to serenade Kidman, who later gestures for him to join her on the dance floor.
Inside the Star-Studded Music Video and Creative Collaboration
The visual narrative of She’s The Best pulls together a close-knit group of collaborators and figures from Sivan’s personal orbit. Throughout the video, Sivan is seen alongside notable personalities including RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Sasha Colby and his sister, Sage Mellet, as reported by Yahoo News UK. In one standout moment, Sivan appears in full drag alongside Kidman, wearing a platinum blonde hairdo and a sheer white robe.
Sivan explained to Rolling Stone that casting Kidman was a meaningful choice because she has always represented a picture of the “divine feminine” to him. Kidman’s appearance in the project marks a music video appearance, having previously starred in the 2001 video for her and Robbie Williams’s collaboration “Somethin’ Stupid,” as well as Pat Wilson’s 1983 video “Bop Girl,” according to Yahoo News UK.
The track itself was written and produced by an elite roster of contributors, including Sivan, Jack Antonoff, Styalz Fuego, and George Daniel of The 1975. Daniel is married to Charli XCX, who contributes vocals to the song’s outro, cementing the track as a collaborative intersection of modern pop royalty.
A Personal Tribute to the Divine Feminine
Reflecting on the themes behind his fourth studio album, Sivan shared an emotional statement via Instagram regarding the steady presence of women throughout his personal and professional journey. “Boys have come and gone, work has come and gone, but I have always, always had my girls. My whole life I’ve existed in the orbit of incredible women. This is my love letter to them,” he wrote, as cited by Yahoo News UK.
Describing the broader album, Sivan told publications that the record feels “chaotic, layered, organic, troubled and alive,” adding that it represents the truest version of himself he has shared to date. He noted that during difficult moments, the feminine spirit has remained the primary constant keeping him grounded.
Album Release Timeline and What Comes Next
Fans looking forward to the complete project can mark their calendars for October 9, when She’s The Best officially releases globally. The album follows Sivan’s 2023 release Something To Give Each Other, continuing a trajectory that includes breakout EPs like TRXYE and acclaimed albums such as Blue Neighbourhood and Bloom.
