Troye Sivan Is Obsessed With Madonna Right Now, Too

For gay people and fabulous straight people across the land, summer 2026 was all about Madonna. For one, everybody and their cool friend listened to Bandsplain’s Madonna series, plus Madge herself released her best album since Confessions on a Dance Floor, Confessions II. Troye Sivan gets it. The second single off his upcoming album She’s the Best is “Party,” a thumping new dance track that samples Madonna’s 2000 No. 1 hit “Music.” Like the Madonna song that inspired it, “Party” is an ode to dancing with friends and strangers and loving the equality of the dance floor. “Party in the park / Party in the bush / Party under the bridge / Party at the restaurant / Party at the club,” Sivan talk-sings on the track. That mantra then gives way to the Madonna sample intoning: “Music makes the people come together / Music, mix bourgeoisie and the rebel.” Like “Music” before it, “Party” is a rhythmic, hypnotic track that tells the listener exactly how to listen to it: while going extremely hard.

The music video for the song matches the lyric in ambition. Set in medieval times, Sivan is basically Gay-veheart. The video sweeps around a reveling fiefdom, showing everyone from peasants to dukes partying and getting it on. Like much of Sivan’s recent work (see: “Rush”), the video is horny, filled with sharp choreography, and shot by his frequent director Gordon von Steiner. And like his recent video, “She’s the Best,” which starred Nicole Kidman, it features an icon: Ian McKellen as the narrator. Get ready to party in the Shire when She’s the Best comes out October 9.
