"Bloodstone" is a song by Australian singer Guy Sebastian. It was released on 20 October 2017[1] as the second single from Sebastian's eighth studio album, Conscious.

Sebastian told the Herald Sun how a near break-up with wife Jules was the inspiration for the song. He said: "I remember trying to break up with Jules years and years ago, way before kids. Jules was actually like, 'we've got a history and you're just having a down moment, let's just push through it'. Jules was just straight up and said, 'you're an idiot'. In hindsight I was because I would have lost something really special."[2] Sebastian told The Daily Telegraph: "It is about fighting for all sorts of love in all shapes and sizes."[3]

Reception

In a review of the album, Leigh Sanders from Star and Express said: "His range takes on almost Mariah Carey-like changes which are almost just showing off compared to us mere singing mortals."[4]
