The Australian pop star previously hinted at this collaboration with different TikTok clips, sharing he loves PinkPantheress and Stray Kids' Hyunjin's voices.

He seemed to first start leaving clues with a video where he danced to a snippet of a song PinkPantheress shared on her socials and wrote, "Wow, [I] love this lady's voice. [I] would love to sing [with] her one day."

The next day, he dueted a video of Stray Kids' Hyunjin and wrote a text strikingly similar to his earlier post, saying, "Wow, [I] absolutely love this guy. [I] would love to sing [with] him one day."

Troye Sivan first met Hyunjin at Versace's "La Vacanza" 2023 fashion show in Cannes last May, where they were seated next to each other.

Almost three weeks after their meeting, he fanboyed over the Stray Kids member and reposted a Hyunjin edit on TikTok and asked, "Anyone know how to reach this man," with his song "Rush" as the background music.

A few days after, he posted another TikTok video, saying, "That's the last time [I'll] publicly crush on a K-Pop star. [I] almost got murdered."

According to Troye, though he got a lot of nice messages for his Hyunjin post, he also received "death threats," so he was pulling the breaks, per NME.

At the time, when he got asked about a potential collaboration with Hyunjin in the future, he said he would do it "in a heartbeat."

Now Troye Sivan's collaboration with Stray Kids' Hyunjin is finally happening.

While waiting for the official release of the remix, fans can pre-save it on Spotify or pre-add it on Apple Music.

Troye released the original version of "Rush" with an accompanying music video on July 13 as the lead single of his upcoming third studio album, "Something to Give Each Other." His album is scheduled to be released in October.

"Rush" celebrates "the joy of being on a dance floor and fostering an electrifying connection with someone," per Billboard.
