High Low, Sivan took the opportunity to clear up a misconception about one of his most memorable hits, “Bloom.” “I wrote this one song called ‘Bloom,’ right?

And it’s about bottoming. And the lyric is ‘I bloom just for you.’ And people took that and ran,” he started. Sivan then went right to the heart of what he wanted to say, adding, “I think in the sort of consciousness of gay people, I’m some crazy power bottom or something, which is just not the case, and I just wanted to put that out there.” Sivan then went on to reveal that this assumption has even affected his dating life. “I think sometimes people are just surprised if they go on a date with me or something like that and I’m like, ‘Oh, by the way, I’m not a bottom.'” So, apparently the singer is a top?Since its release, “Bloom” has resonated with many in the LGBTQ+ community and has become a favorite for bottoms and power bottoms everywhere.

Sivan himself contributed to this perception by playfully referring to it in that manner, adding fuel to the fire. He used the hashtag #BopsBoutBottoming when talking about the song on social media, which only helped along the association. “Bloom” served as the third single and title track from Sivan’s second album, also named Bloom.

While it achieved moderate global success, it was surrounded by bigger hits on the same release such as “My My My!” and “Dance to This” featuring Ariana Grande.The “Rush” music video received some criticism for predominantly featuring white, skinny individuals, similar to Sivan himself.
