Years & Years have shared a snippet of their upcoming new single ‘Starstruck’ while launching a new TikTok challenge.

The preview of the track follows on from the recent news that Years & Years will now operate as an Olly Alexander solo project. The frontman’s former bandmates, Emre Türkmen and Mikey Goldsworthy, will still remain close to the band, however.
