Troye Sivan has released “She’s the Best,” the title track from his fourth studio album, She’s the Best, which is due October 9, 2026. The single is Sivan’s first new music since signing with Interscope Records and arrives alongside the album announcement.
“She’s the Best” was written by Sivan, Leland, George Daniel, Jack Antonoff and Styalz Fuego, with production by Daniel, Antonoff, Fuego and Sivan. The song begins with spoken verses before guitars, strings and synthesizers build around the vocal and open into a fuller arrangement. Its subject is the influence of women, particularly trans women, as well as drag queens, feminine-presenting people and femininity more broadly on Sivan’s life and creative identity. A Gordon von Steiner-directed video accompanies the track. Drawing on 1980s queer New York and fashion imagery, the video features Nicole Kidman. The clip reunites Sivan with von Steiner, who also directed videos from Sivan’s previous album cycle.
Sivan describes She’s the Best as a project intended to work visually as well as musically, with songs centered on desire, identity, joy, loneliness and queer belonging. “She’s the Best is a painting that captures my life in all of its moods and colours,” he said. Sivan added that the record reflects both the “high-octane highs” of recent years and the solitude and longing beneath them, while tracing how femininity became a constant in his life. He also said that “the feminine” had been the constant that helped keep him grounded through changes in work and relationships.
Sivan’s previous album, Something to Give Each Other, arrived in 2023 and reached the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 while topping Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The 2023 record has generated more than 2.2 billion global streams and included “Rush,” “One of Your Girls” and “Got Me Started.” In 2024, Sivan toured with Charli xcx on the SWEAT Tour, while “Rush” and “Got Me Started” both earned GRAMMY nominations. Across his career, Sivan has accumulated more than 15.5 billion global streams, nine Billboard Hot 100 entries, three GRAMMY nominations and eight ARIA Awards.
