"'Sweet Talker'" is a song by English singer Olly Alexander, who performs under his solo project Years & Years, and Swedish electronic music duo Galantis. The song was released on 24 November 2021 as the third and final single from the former's third studio album 'Night Call' (2022). The song was written by Alexander, Max Wolfgang, Max Ralph, and Christian Karlsson, while being produced by the latter two. Lyrically, the song finds Alexander searching for a "love-em-and-leave-em dreamboat he's not ready to forget, as lush disco flourishes coat his sensual, aching croon". Commercially, the song debuted at 94 on the UK Singles Chart, later peaking at 26, becoming the highest-charting single from 'Night Call'.

Music video



A music video for "Sweet Talker" premiered on YouTube on 10 December 2021, and was directed by Sophia Ray. Inspired by films 'Labyrinth' (1986) and 'Gretel and Hansel' (2020), the video shows Olly Alexander trapped in a magical castle by a mysterious and "sexy" beast. The video's concept is a take on the Greek mythical tale King Midas, with Alexander finding a magic sword in his escape through the castle that "turns anyone he slays into candy".
