My Love (Florence and the Machine song)

"My Love" is a song by the British indie rock band Florence and the Machine, released on March 23, 2022, as the second single from their fifth studio album, Dance Fever. The song was written by Florence Welch, Dave Bayley, and Kid Harpoon, and produced by Bayley and Harpoon.

"My Love" is characterized by its layered vocals, driving percussion, and a blend of electronic and orchestral elements. It builds from a sparse, almost hymn-like opening to a powerful, anthemic chorus. Lyrically, the song explores themes of artistic frustration, creative block, and the struggle to connect with inspiration. Welch has described it as a reflection on the anxieties and pressures of artistic creation, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lyrics detail a feeling of emptiness and the search for meaning in the act of creation.

The song received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its intensity, emotional depth, and Welch's vocal performance. The accompanying music video, directed by Autumn de Wilde, visually complements the song's themes with a stylized and theatrical performance by Welch, set against a stark and dramatic backdrop.
