At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, the song was nominated for Song of the Year and earned Laroi a nomination for Best Solo Artist. [3]
At the APRA Music Awards of 2024, the song was nominated for Most Performed Australian Work and Most Performed Pop Work. [4]
"Love Again" was one of Laroi's unreleased songs that had been circulating on social media the year before. [5] He first unveiled and performed the song at the 2022 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball. [6] [7] The release date was revealed at the end of the music video for the promotional single, "I Can't Go Back to the Way It Was (Intro)". [8] The song was featured in Laroi's 'Wild Dreams' Fortnite experience as part of his partnership with Epic Games. [9]
On "Love Again", Laroi mourns what once was a past love, and questions whether or not it will ever return, singing over a soft, acoustic guitar and fuzzed out instrumentation. He sings in the chorus, "Can we find love again?/ Is this time the end?/ Tell me." [1] [10] [11] Billboard 's Jason Lipshutz wrote that the song "recalls the raw acoustic nerve" of Laroi's breakout hit, "Without You", and "offers clipped, unflinching rhetorical questions while trying to find resolution in a relationship". [2]
In Laroi's native Australia, "Love Again" debuted at number 14 on the ARIA Singles Chart. [12] The following week, the song climbed to number six, marking his sixth top-10 hit on the chart. [13] It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 18 before rising to number 16 a week later. [14]
The official music video for "Love Again", directed by Adrian Villagomez, [15] premiered with the single's release on 27 January 2023. [10] It sees Laroi in a toxic relationship with Londond0ll, a life-size blond doll that Laroi followed on Instagram earlier in the week. [16] [17] The two are seen driving around together, cuddling on the beach, and getting into arguments before rekindling their love at the end of the video. [16] [17]
