“Seventeen” Is The Opening Song On Troye Sivan’s Sophomore Album. The Song Was Played At Troye’s Secret Listening Sessions Along With “Bloom” And A Few Other Tracks. In An Interview With Attitude He Said The Track Is About Lying About His Age And Hooking Up With Older Men On Grindr "I Managed To Get A Fake ID And Then I Got Grindr On My Phone And Started To Try To Meet People Who Were Like Me But You Sort Of Are Forced A Little Bit Into These Hyper-Sexualised Environments And Even Though That’s Awesome When You’re 17… I Didn’t Know What Else To Do. … There’s Actually A Song About That On The Album Called ‘17’… Originally The Chorus Of The Song Was ‘Here He Comes / Like He Just Walked Out Of A Dream / Doesn’t Care That You’re 17’. And I Was Like ‘uh That Sounds A Bit Predatory’ And Maybe It Was A Little Bit. That’s What I Mean It’s Like I’m Not Looking Back At Those Experiences In A Negative Or A Positive Light." Troye Said The Song Is Meant To Be Darker Than The Rest Of The Album. He Said That He Was Worried That He Was Going To Promote This Behavior But Wanted To Share His Experience.
