From the revealing lyrics on 'Seventeen', in which Troye opens up about his first sexual experiences with an older man, to the heartbreaking lines in 'The Good Side' where Troye gets candid about a past relationship, it's a remarkable record. Not to mention the amazing duet with Ariana Grande ('Dance to This' is still iconic). There's one song in particular which fans are obsessed with right now: 'Lucky Strike'.

There is nothing too salacious about 'Lucky Strike' other than the fact that it's a stone cold banger. Troye co-wrote the track with Alex Hope. Alex was involved in most of Blue Neighbourhood. The lyrics do get a little bit explicit ('I want to skip stones on your skin boy // And drown me in your water') and maybe takes shots at an ex ('He knows how to love me better'). Mainly, though, it's just a beautiful love song.

Listen to 'Lucky Strike' here.

'Tell me all the ways to love you / 'Cause you taste like Lucky Strikes / You drag, I light, boy' is a perfect lyric. Who knew that a cigarette metaphor could be romantic af?

Plus the production is next level. This needs to be a single. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that fans can't stop talking about it.

Here are just a few of the reactions to 'Lucky Strike'.

In short, it's a bop. Go get your life to it and the rest of 'Bloom' on all the usual services now.

VERSE 1
Oh, I want to know just how to love you
The jewel of California
Oh, I want to skip stones on your skin, boy
And drown me in your water

PRE-CHORUS
And my boy like a queen
Unlike one you've ever seen
He knows how to love me better
A hit of dopamine, higher than I've ever been
He knows how to love me better

CHORUS
'Cause you're safe like spring time
Short days, long nights, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
'Cause you taste like Lucky Strikes
You drag, I light, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you

VERSE 2
Oh, I wanna tip toe through your bliss, boy
Get lost the more I find ya
Oh, don't wanna miss a second of this, boy
Hold tight and love me longer


PRE-CHORUS
And my boy like a queen
Unlike one you've ever seen
He knows how to love me better
(He knows how to love me better)
A hit of dopamine, higher than I've ever been
He knows how to love me better

CHORUS
'Cause you're safe like spring time
Short days, long nights, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
'Cause you taste like Lucky Strikes
You drag, I light, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways to love you

BRIDGE
Breathe me in, exhale slow
Take me to anywhere you wanna go
Breathe me in, exhale slow
Take me to anywhere you wanna go


CHORUS
'Cause you're safe like spring time
Short days, long nights, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
'Cause you taste like Lucky Strikes
You drag, I light, boy
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
Tell me all the ways to love you
(Tell me all the ways to love you)
Tell me all the ways to love you
Tell me all the ways
