Are you ready to beam with P-R-I-D-E? Beaming with Pride highlights songs by LGBTQ musicians and allies, offering background, analysis, and discussion of the decadent bops served up. All music genres are welcome. Songs, old and new, are welcome as well. So, without further ado, in the 90th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “FF” performed by Troye Sivan.

“Me and my baby are fucking forever.” Ooh-wee! Handsome, talented South African-born, Australian-bred pop singer-songwriter Troye Sivan said what he said!  Two letters: “FF.” The acronym is clearly spelled out in the excerpted lyrics from the chorus.  FUCKING FOREVER! “FF” is the third single and 10th track from his fourth studio album, She’s the Best, released in 2026. Troye Sivan composed “FF” with Leland, Madison Love, Jasper Harris, George Daniel, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut. Daniel, Antonoff, Cirkut, and Harris also produced it.

Soon enough, an awesome drum groove gives this pop ballad some punch. Troye Sivan delivers radiant, expressive vocals. His tone is delightful.  He also has compelling lyrics and tuneful melodies working in his favor.  “Grabbed the neck of your guitar, in a way that makes me jealous, better play it for me,” he sings memorably in the first verse.  In the second verse, there’s conversation (“We talk about the climate, how the boys are getting violent, and we’re scared as shit”), memories, and a heaping dose of chemistry (“You said I should jump in the pool like I did after school when I was a kid”). The chorus is the crème de la crème. While the f-bomb is ear-catching, it’s not merely sexual – there is something special between Troye and this boy. The ‘fucking’ is intense…and an intensifier!

“Me and my baby are fucking forever

Gone are the days of waiting for pleasure

Concrete and steel like some real architecture

Me and my baby

Me and my babe.”

Troye Sivan’s falsetto is amazing during the post-chorus – “fucking forever” for sure! The final chorus includes breaks in the musical accompaniment.  I like the assertiveness of Sivan. Still, it doesn’t sound like he forces a thing. The outro, filled with forever and ever, shines bright like a diamond! “FF” is one of many amazing moments from She’s the Best.  This love song may be ‘rough’ given the f-bombs, but it’s still incredibly sweet, nonetheless.  And that music video featuring Felix Mayr… HAWT 🥵!
