Troye Sivan’s “Honey" has a driving flavor, with a sweet nostalgic vocal wash calling back to his classic sound as heard on Blue Neighborhood. “Honey” contributes to Troye’s house style album with refreshing vocals and edgy synths.
[Chorus]
Give me the courage to say all the shit I mean, yeah
Give me a song to rock your body, a lucid dream, yeah
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you what you really mean, yeah
Give me that honey, honey, love, you've got the recipe
[Verse 1]
You know
I see love in every space
I see sex in every city, every town
I wonder what us two could make
'Cause I feel so good around you
Can you imagine what we'd get up to? Yeah
There's something different about tonight
I could speak, or just let my body explain
I'm getting close to satisfied
And I've learned so much about you
Don't know your name, that's something we'll get to, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Overdrive
My body's workin' in overdrive
Don't care how late, let's go overtime
Mantra, eternally in my mind
In my mind
[Chorus]
Give me the courage to say all the shit I mean, yeah
Give me a song to rock your body, a lucid dream, yeah
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you what you really mean, yeah
Give me that honey, honey, love, you've got the recipe
Give me the courage to say all the shit I mean, yeah
Give me a song to rock your body, a lucid dream, yeah
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you what you really mean, yeah
Give me that honey, honey, love, you've got the recipe
[Verse 2]
I don't pray a lot, God knows
But I'm callin' in favours like I believe
Don't go bringin' me that close
'Cause I feel so good around you
I'm going in tonight like I love you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Overdrive
My body's workin' in overdrive
Don't care how late, let's go overtime
Mantra, eternally in my mind
In my mind
[Chorus]
Give me the courage to say all the shit I mean, yeah
Give me a song to rock your body, a lucid dream, yeah
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you what you really mean, yeah
Give me that honey, honey, love, you've got the recipe

‘Honey’ started in Melbourne with [producer] Styalz Fuego and the Serenity Prayer. My dad taught it to me when I was a kid.

We had that chorus for ages, it actually started with the Serenity Prayer which my dad taught me as a kid. It’s the one where it goes “give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change” and all that. I really, really don’t know why but I liked the idea of thinking give me the courage to say...
