The track was released through EMI and Capitol on July 13th, 2023 along with an accompanying music video. The song marks Sivan’s first solo release in over five years.
The track was first teased on Instagram in early June, with a snippet of the song playing over the song’s credits. The snippet was then uploaded to TikTok in a series of videos hinting towards Sivan’s crush on Hyunjin from Stray Kids. A few weeks later, Sivan posted multiple dance videos showcasing the song’s choreography, which was later featured in the music video. The sexy, queer-celebrating music video was directed by Gordon von Steiner and features choreography from Sergio Reis.
“Rush” was crafted by Alex Chapman, NOVODOR, and Kevin Hickey- featuring additional production from Styalz Fuego, and writing from Troye Sivan. The title of the song was inspired by a poppers brand of the same name, and lyrically describes dancing with “someone hot”. Sonically, the track is a club-pop song with electronic and house influences.
The song was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in four countries: Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ireland. In the singer’s home country, the song peaked at #12 and at #1 on the Australian dance charts. In the US, the track reached #77 and #3 on the electronic dance club songs chart.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Addicted to your touch
Big communication, tell me what you want
Translate your vibration, let your body talk to me
Baby love, if you wanna show me what
You've been schemin' up, if you wanna
(Let go)Trust the simulation, don't you let it break
Every stimulation, promise I can take
What you wanna give? Boy, you better show me what
You've been schemin' up
You got my heartbeat racin'
My body blazin'
I feel the rush
Addicted to your touch
Oh, I feel the rush
(It's so good, it's so good)
I feel the rush
Addicted to your touch
Oh, I feel the rush
(It's so good, it's so good)
So good when we slow gravity, so good
(It's so good, it's so good)
Breathe one, two, three, take all of me, so good
(It's so good, it's so good)
Pass your boy the heatwave, recreate the Sun
(Take) me to the feeling, boy, you know the one
Kiss it when you're done, man, this shit is so much fun
Pocket rocket gun
You got my heartbeat (heartbeat) racin' (racin')
My body blazin'
I feel the rush
Addicted to your touch
Oh, I feel the rush
(It's so good, it's so good)
I feel the rush
Addicted to your touch
Oh, I feel the rush
(It's so good, it's so good)
So good when we slow gravity, so good
(It's so good, it's so good)
Breathe one, two, three, take all of me, so good
(It's so good, it's so good)
It's so good, it's so good
It's so good, it's so good
We got something to give each other
Yeah, we got something to give each other
Don't matter to me, forever awake, baby, I want it all
Tell to me speed off with the heat, I'm gonna take the call
We got something
Got something to give each other
So good when we slow gravity, so good
To love with reciprocity is so good
(Got something to give each other)
So good when we slow gravity, so good
To love with reciprocity is so good
