8 years ago today, Troye Sivan released ‘Bloom.

Oscar Holter, Jam City, Bram Inscore, Oscar Görres, Ariel Rechtshaid, and Bobby Krlic all contributed production to 'Bloom,' Troye Sivan's second studio album, released through EMI Music Australia and Capitol Records as the follow-up to his 2015 debut, 'Blue Neighbourhood.' Sivan rolled out five singles ahead of the full project, beginning with 'My My My!' that January, followed by the breakup-themed 'The Good Side,' the candid title track 'Bloom,' 'Dance to This' featuring Ariana Grande, and 'Animal' just weeks before the album's arrival. Combined streams from those five songs alone had already surpassed 550 million before the record even dropped.

Lyrically, the album leans into themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and queer identity, with the title track in particular built around candid, unguarded songwriting that sparked real conversation online through a trending promotional hashtag. Both 'My My My!' and 'Dance to This' became worldwide trending topics on social media upon release, reflecting the strong fan anticipation building around the record throughout the year. Sivan supported the album's rollout with a run of major television performances, including stops on 'Live with Kelly and Ryan' and 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'

Following the album's release, Sivan launched 'The Bloom Tour' that September, kicking off in Texas and eventually running all the way through late November 2019, with stops spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, including a date in Chengdu, China. The tour and album cemented 'Bloom' as a defining artistic statement in Sivan's early career, marking his transition into a more assured, openly personal songwriting voice following his debut record.
