Florence + The Machine My Love

“My Love” is the third single from Florence + the Machine’s fifth studio album, Dance Fever.

According to a press release, “My Love” was originally written and recorded as an acoustic track described by Florence as a “sad little poem,” that recounts Welch experiencing writer’s block and having a hard time adjusting to a world shifted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The song was later transformed by producer Dave Bayley into the energetic track that it is.

Announced on March 9, only a day prior to its debut, “My Love” was released just three days after “Heaven Is Here,” the album’s previous single, accompanied by its music video and Dance Fever’s pre-sale. The song simultaneously premiered on BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast with Greg James.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was always able to write my way out
The song always made sense to me
Now I find out that when I look down
Every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky
I pray the trees will get their leaves soon

[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don’t know where to put my love

[Verse 2]
And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined
No cracking open up Heaven
But quiet and still (All my friends are getting ill)

[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don’t know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don’t know where to put my love

[Post-Chorus]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied

[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don’t know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don’t know where to put my love

[Post-Chorus]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
