Troye Sivan uncovers a classic sample for "Got Me Started"


Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan steps into a new musical moment with "Got Me Started," a new track built on an ambitious sample choice and inventive vocal production, produced by Ian Kirkpatrick and written by Troye Sivan Mellet, Leland, Tayla Parx, Ian Kirkpatrick, Jack Glass, Chris Stracey and Kaelyn Behr.

A key element of "Got Me Started" is the inclusion of "Shooting Stars," a song that holds deep personal significance for Sivan. The sample became such an important part of the songwriting process that it shaped the new song's identity and connected it to a piece of music Sivan considers iconic. "Got Me Started" demonstrates Sivan's openness to examine old musical concepts with a fresh perspective. The song's unique sample, shared writing credit, and vocal production help to highlight a more playful and creative side of his artistry. 

A familiar sample and a vocal treatment experiment combine to give "Got Me Started" a playful sense of musical discovery. The song uses it as part of a larger creative idea. Also part of the story around the release is Sivan's excitement about the sample, and how its inclusion is a key creative turning point for the song. The song, paired with Kirkpatrick's production, sits at a crossroads of an influential sound and modern pop sensibility.
