“Rush” has surpassed 110 million streams globally. The new version is currently trending at No. 22 on YouTube and has hit over 250,000 views in just 11 hours.
While speaking with Travis Mills of Apple Music 1, Sivan revealed whether Rush is a good indication of what to expect from Something to Give Each Other. “I think ‘Rush’ is maybe the most turbo. It’s going 100 percent,” Sivan explained. “The rest of the album has moments of that, for sure, but the thing that was really important to me was, yeah, I’m in a phase of having a lot of fun, but at the same time, I think a lot about everything, and so I wanted to make sure that there were layers and vulnerability in it still. But you can 100 percent party to the album, for sure.”
Later in the same interview, Sivan discussed the initial intention behind “Rush.” “I knew that I had something that I really wanted to listen to with my friends – I always love the music that I make, but it’s hard to read how other people are gonna react,” Sivan said. “I remember I went away with my sister and her friends, and we were all having such a good time; it was such a good vibe. My sister was like, ‘Can you play them that song?’
“I’d just done it and I was kind of embarrassed but everyone was drunk enough where I was like, ‘This is gonna be fun,’ and I played it, and I think that was when I was like, ‘I feel like this pops off’ because everyone stood up and they were singing the song by the end,” Sivan continued. “I wanted to slap people in the face with the new single and do something so bold and big and brash, and this felt like that to me. I’m just happy that people are seemingly into it, but you can’t ever predict it.”
PinkPantheress is currently exploding onto the scene, with the singer winning BBC Music’s BBC Sound Of… poll in 2022. The “Boy’s a Liar” singer was also included in Vogue‘s 25 Most Influential Women list. Stray Kids has hit $10 million in cumulative album sales. The band has also charted three consecutive No. 1 hits on the Billboard 200.
