I Love You So F***ing Much is the fourth studio album by English indie rock band Glass Animals, released on 19 July 2024 through Polydor Records.

Contents

Background

The album was partly inspired by the success of "Heat Waves" in 2020, [4] with frontman Dave Bayley saying that "sometimes you aren't able to change as quickly on a personal level". He explained that success can leave one feeling like a "spectator" with accompanying expectations to act a certain way, which "confused [him] to the point of not knowing who [he] was or if anything was real". [5] The title is about the power and mystery of human connection in a universe that "may make us feel overwhelmingly small". Bayley also explained that the lead single "Creatures in Heaven" is about "a moment in time [...] having the capacity to be enormously formative and life-changing". [5]

Promotion

The album was promoted with a concert tour entitled “The Tour of Earth”, which started on 4 August 2024 in Charlotte, North Carolina and will conclude on 26 November 2024 in Sydney. Opening acts for the tour include Kevin Abstract, Eyedress, Blondshell, and The Big Moon.
