Troye Sivan:
Hey, it’s Troye Sivan, and this is how it went down for my song “One of Your Girls.”
So weirdly, one of your girls actually started in kind of a sad way. Oscar Görres was in L.A. He’s a producer from Sweden, and he was going through some, like, personal stuff at the time, and he was feeling kind of down, and so he went into the studio and started building this track, and he recorded, like, the little vocal thing that you hear in the very beginning of the song. I was freaking out. I was, like, totally, totally obsessed with it. And weirdly, that weekend, there was this one particular guy who had been flirting with me for a really long time. I had never been with a guy before, and I said to him, I texted him, “Let me know if you’re feeling gay on Saturday night,” because he said sometimes he feels to be gay when he, like, drinks. And so then I come in on Monday, full of this, like, inspiration. We wrote the verses first about this, like, this guy that everybody wants and that, you know, like, girls want him, guys want him — tall and has good style and, like, has good taste. It just really started with this, like, pining and this yearning, and then we got stuck on the chorus. We wrote the pre-chorus that day. We had the like, face card. And I thought that was so sick, and I was really obsessed.
