Something to Give Each Other is the third studio album by Australian singer Troye Sivan. It was released through EMI Music Australia and Capitol Records on 13 October 2023 and is Sivan's first album in five years, following 2018's Bloom. The album was preceded by the singles "Rush", and "Got Me Started", from the lyrics of which the album's title derives. A third single, "One of Your Girls", was released concurrently with the album.
Background
Sivan teased the release of the album on 9 June 2023 on Instagram alongside a clip showcasing him throughout different years on a television starting from his first ever upload to YouTube and ending with a teaser for the music video of the album's then upcoming lead single "Rush". Sivan stated in the post caption that he had been making the album for over five years in between various commitments, such as his Bloom tour and the television series The Idol, in which he had a starring role.
Sivan announced the album name and release date and unveiled the cover art on 13 July 2023 on social media.
This album is my something to give you - a kiss on a dancefloor, a date turned into a weekend, a crush, a winter, a summer. Party after party, after party after after party. Heartbreak, freedom. Community, sisterhood, friendship. All that.
— Sivan describing the album,
Artwork
The album cover features Sivan smiling with his head between a friend's legs. Sivan stated that he wanted to smile for the album cover but did not smile throughout the day of the photoshoot because he felt awkward smiling and did not want his smile to look fake. The shot for the album cover captured when Sivan's friend kneeled down and tickled Sivan's ribs, which provoked a genuine smile.
Due to the cover's suggestive nature, countries such as Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, as well as countries in Eastern Europe, replaced it with "Rush"'s artwork instead, which features a close-up of Sivan.
