Troye Sivanannounced he will be releasing his first album since 2018.

The project,Something to Give Each Other, which is described in a press release as “a celebration of sex, dance, sweat, community, queerness, love and friendship,” is due Oct. 13 via Capitol Records.

Along with the news of the LP, the Australia-born actor and singer shared the album’s lead single “Rush,” a high-energy, disco anthem.

“‘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,” Sivan said in a statement about the song. “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.”

Sivan most recently had a co-starring role in the controversial HBO seriesThe Idol, alongsideLily-Rose Depp,BLACKPINK’sJennie andAbel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, where he played Jocelyn’s best friend and creative director, Xander.

“I know a few creative directors, I’ve dated a few. So I know them really well,” he toldBillboard. “I am also fully that person.

He continued: “I catch myself now. Like, you know, on the press tour, for example, Lily’s just like looking unbelievable at all times, of course. And so I’m like, you know, like the gay best friend. It’s like taking a million pictures of her all the time. I think that is just like a very natural role for me to slip into.”
