Years & Years have shared a preview clip of the first solo Olly Alexander single, 'Starstruck', on TikTok.

Fans can check out a snippet of the first track since it was announced that the lead vocalist will become the sole member of Years & Years on the video-sharing app now.

The 'Desire' singer has invited fans to create their own videos, dance routines and Duets to the song.

Olly Alexander vows to release his 'best' leftover tracks

He tweeted: "SURPRISE Starstruck is up on TikTok right now !! go go get the first listen & u can make ur own videos with it duet with my #Starstruck challenge and I’ll pick the most STRIKING to reply to https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeyM1QyF/ (sic)"

In the clip shared with the post, he said: "Hi everyone, surprise! 'Starstruck' is now on TikTok.“The ‘Starstruck Challenge’ is all about showing your finest post-lockdown glow up that is leaving everyone star-struck because you look so fine.

“So please go and have a listen, make your own video – and [I] can’t wait to see what you come up with.”

Olly Alexander: Years and Years was destined to be a solo project for 'a long time'

The pop trio - which originally formed as a five-piece in 2010 - recently revealed that the 30-year-old singer will continue to front Years & Years, but without Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Turkmen.

The group - whose debut album 'Communion' was released in 2015 - said of their future in their statement earlier this month: "Dear Y&Y fans... There's been some changes that we want to fill you in on.

"This upcoming new album has been an Olly endeavour and we've decided that Years & Years will continue as an Olly solo project.

"The three of us are still good friends. Mikey will be part of the Y&Y family and play with us live and Emre will focus on being a writer/producer.

"These past 12 months have been crazy for us all and we want to thank you for the love and support you've given us over the years (& years)."

New Y&Y music will be coming this spring. (sic)'

Years and Years becomes Olly Alexander solo project

The band - whose second record 'Palo Santo' dropped three years ago - also previously featured Noel Leeman and Olivier Subria, who both left in 2013.'

'Starstruck' is released in all its glory on April 8.
