"Got Me Started" landed on 20 September 2023 via EMI and Capitol as the second single from Something to Give Each Other, Troye Sivan's third album, and it's built on one very big borrow: "Shooting Stars", the 2009 track by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders. Sivan couldn't stop humming it in the studio and fought for the sample, knowing the duo had never cleared it before.
Ian Kirkpatrick produced, and his trick was to record Sivan's vocal slowed down and then speed it back up, which is the giddy, pitched-up rush you hear on the chorus. Seven writers share the credit, Sivan, Kirkpatrick, Tayla Parx and Leland among them, over a skittering UK garage pulse. It took Song of the Year at the 2024 ARIA Music Awards and drew a Best Dance Pop Recording nomination at the 67th Grammys.
