Background

According to NME , Aurora described her single "Giving In to the Love" as "more playful and fun" while still addressing societal and historical issues that concern her. She stated that the song does not focus on "doom, gloom, COVID-19, and horror" but instead explores themes of darkness, light, and their absurd coexistence. Additionally, she noted that the track has a sensual quality and reflects her desire to bring a more enjoyable aspect to her music, as she has often written about serious topics in the past. [2]

On October 11, Aurora took to Instagram to reveal the cover art for "Giving In to the Love" and announced that the single would be released on October 14. [3] In her post, she wrote, "Hello you beautiful soul-filled bags of human flesh. Come with me into the garden of Eden… Giving into its beauty, and giving into the love." [4] [5] [6]
