Sivan confirmed that he filmed a music video for 'Wild' with Alessia Cara in late June 2016. That music video was never released, and a new one was shot instead in early February 2016 and released on 24 February 2016. On 23 December 2015, the giveaway was a few black-and-white pictures from behind the scenes for the 'Youth' music video. In December 2015, Sivan shared some giveaways with his fans for a whole week until Christmas through a website called 8 Days of Givaways. After the release of this installment, Sivan provided suicide prevention hotlines (for countries where they are available). The video has an open ending, since it leaves the viewer with a shot of Sivan's love interest at the edge of a cliff and then cuts to a view of the sea. The last installment of the Blue Neighbourhood video trilogy is for 'Talk Me Down' and was released on 20 October 2015. The first two installments are for the songs 'Wild' and 'Fools' and both were released in September 2015. The trilogy follows the storyline of Sivan and his fictional childhood friend and love interest (played by Australian model Matthew Eriksson), and the struggles their same-sex relationship faces. Prior to the album's announcement, the same day the Wild EP came out, a music video trilogy labelled under the umbrella term Blue Neighbourhood was confirmed.

The official music video for the song was set to be released on 20 January 2017 in order to coincide with the inauguration of Donald Trump, however, the video was released on Sivan's Vevo channel on 19 January, one day earlier than planned. Sivan uploaded the audio for the song to his vevo channel on YouTube and performed a solo version of the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show the next day. On 17 October 2016, ' Heaven' featuring fellow Australian singer Betty Who was released as the fifth single from the album. ' Talk Me Down' was later confirmed to be the third single from the album, being released on.

In early 2016, it reached the top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Sivan's most commercially successful single to date in North America. The song premiered exclusively on 12 November on Shazam Top 20 at 7PM AEST and was officially released worldwide after midnight in each country on 13 November. ' Youth' was released as the second single from the album. In addition, a Korean Special Edition of the album was released, featuring the TRXYE extended play tracks, the Blue Neighbourhood music video trilogy and the music video for 'Youth'. Following its release, Sivan re-released Blue Neighbourhood on iTunes, replacing 'Wild (XXYYXX remix)' with the remixed version featuring Cara on the deluxe edition and adding it to the standard version as the last track. ' Wild', originally released as the lead single from Sivan's extended play of the same name, was issued a remixed version featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara and was later released as the fourth single from the album on 23 June 2016. Critics have also compared the record to other musicians like Lorde, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Macklemore, and Adele. Lyrical themes within the record include Sivan's experiences with love, youth, yearning, heartbreak, and affirmation. Sivan embarked on two concert tours to promote the album: the first is the Blue Neighbourhood Tour and later the Suburbia Tour.īlue Neighbourhood has been described to be an electropop, gloom-pop, and synth-pop record with EDM, electronic music, electro, and R&B elements. On 28 August, Sivan performed at the pre-show of the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. On 22 May, Sivan performed at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. Sivan also launched merchandise bundles on his site, selling jumpers with the album logo, candles scented to match the mood of his songs, CDs, vinyl, posters, digital downloads, bags, and notebooks. Those who had already purchased Wild received a discount to purchase Blue Neighbourhood.

' Talk Me Down' was included as a promotional single to those who pre-ordered the album and was the only previously unreleased song made available before release. 1 within hours on the iTunes Store in ten countries, including the United States. Pre-orders for the album opened on 15 October 2015, with the album reaching No. On 13 October 2015, Sivan revealed that Wild served as an opening introduction to the album. 'Wild' was ultimately remixed and re-released as a single with Alessia Cara. The album has generated the singles ' Wild', ' Youth', ' Talk Me Down' and ' Heaven'. The album is preceded by Sivan's fourth extended play Wild, which served as a 6-song opening installment to Blue Neighbourhood. It was released internationally on 4 December 2015 via EMI Music Australia and Capitol Records. Blue Neighbourhood is the debut studio album by Australian singer Troye Sivan.
