The record was preceded by two singles: the title track "She's the Best," a tribute to the women in Sivan's life featuring a video with Nicole Kidman, and "Party," narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. "Party" samples Madonna's "Music," a use the singer approved personally, according to a review published by AOL.com. Sivan presented an award to Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards this year.

On Wednesday, Sivan released the music video for the album track "FF," directed by Gordon von Steiner and shot in and around a beach house, with product placement for the brand Mistr. In press materials, Sivan called "FF" "an undying love song to a man I don't know yet," describing it as a wish rather than a vow, about the loneliness of loving someone who "isn't here yet." He called it "the gayest music video of my career" and "GAY gay." Sivan's 2023 video for "Rush," which included a keg scene, has been cited elsewhere as a competing claim to that title.

Elsewhere on the album, "Canada Dry" tracks an attraction to a Canadian man, "Le Boy" is about the longing to find the right man, and "Embarrassingly" is an introspective track Sivan jokingly called a "masturbation hymn" on Instagram. Sivan, 31, was born in Johannesburg in 1995 and raised in Australia; he came out publicly on YouTube in 2013 and has since received two Grammy nominations. He has cited Berlin's clubs as a place where he feels safe to let go.

The AOL.com review, written by a critic named Alexis and published Thursday, called Sivan "the apotheosis of the middle-class pop star," noting his sales over the past 12 years have been "respectable, rather than earth-shattering," and that he was "glowingly written about in Time magazine by Kylie Minogue." The review called Sivan a "relative cult figure" rather than a "multiplatinum star," but "loudly, unapologetically queer." It described the album's sound as built on "shuffling breakbeat," "misty synths" and "flute samples," comparing it to "Foxbase Alpha-era Saint Etienne" and early-1990s British pop, and said "FF" and "Le Boy" carry "dense waves of shoegazey guitars." The review called the songs "uniformly great, very hooky," with one exception: the drum'n'bass track "Troye Meets World," which it said "land(s) flat" against the rest of the record.
