"My Love" is a song by British singer Will Young. It was written by Young and Kish Mauve members Mima Stilwell and Jim Elliott for his seventh studio album Lexicon (2019), while production was helmed by Richard X. The second single to precede Lexicon, it was released by Cooking Vinyl on 24 May 2019 and reached number 45 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart. A remix single, featuring additional production by underground tech house duo The Last Indigo and James "F9" Wiltshire, was issued on 7 June 2019.
"All the Songs" was written by Young along with frequent collaborators, Kish Mauve members Mima Stilwell and Jim Elliott.[1] Production on the track was helmed by Richard X with whom Young had previously worked on his fifth studio Echoes (2011).[1] Speaking about the song, Young told Attitude: "When we were writing, I kept thinking of the chequered floors of a disco. That’s what was in my head. And it’s slightly Jamiroquai, I think."[2]
Gay Times described "My Love" as "a dancefloor-ready heartbreak banger."[3] In her review of parent album Lexicon, musicOMH critic Helen Clarke called "My Love" a "brassy pop song, and this is where [Young] thrives."[4]
"My Love" debuted at number 91 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart in the week of 6 June 2019. It eventually peaked at number 45 in the week ending 4 July 2019.
Young reteamed with photographer and director Rankin, director of the music video for his previous single "All the Songs" (2019), to film a video "My Love."[2] Released on 12 June 2019,[2] it was shot on Worthing Pier in Worthing, West Sussex, England in May 2019.[5] Young described the visuals as a "Northern Soul-inspired thing that I’ve wanted to do for ages. Rankin’s just fantastic to collaborate with."[6]
