The single is in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The collaboration and performance were inspired by the Russell T Davies hit TV series, It’s a Sin, a five-part series set in 1980s London during the AIDS epidemic, starring Alexander in the leading role.
Produced by Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna, Scissor Sisters, Dua Lipa) and Pet Shop Boys the single sets a somber tone with Elton’s unmistakable vocals and piano and Olly’s wistful vocals, before unveiling itself as a euphoric, floor-filling anthem.
Following their performance of the Pet Shop Boys classic “It’s a sin” at the BRIT Awards, Elton John and Years & Years have officially released a new version of Olly Alexander’s brilliant cover.
