Marry Me is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter Olly Murs, released on 2 December 2022 by EMI Records. Following the release of his sixth album, You Know I Know , Murs had no interest in making any new music, until he met his wife, Amelia Tank. [2] Murs returned to writing during late 2020 until early 2022.
The album was preceded by the release of two singles. The lead single "Die of a Broken Heart" was released on 7 October, followed by the second single "I Hate You When You're Drunk" on 25 November.
Marry Me received generally positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success. In Murs's native United Kingdom it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Murs's fifth number-one album on the chart. [3]
Murs announced in early 2022 that he would be releasing his seventh studio album titled Marry Me. In early September, Murs said that a single would be out soon and later put a teaser on his TikTok of the single "Die of a Broken Heart", a 15-second snippet of the pre-chorus and chorus. Within the first day over 100 videos had used the sound. In November, Murs released a video of him watching the World Cup on his TikTok and labelled it "Where's Wally??? Celebrating that he's got a new single coming out this Friday." This also included a 15-second snippet on his single "I Hate You When You're Drunk". [4]
In April 2023, Murs will begin an arena tour throughout the UK. [5] He also announced he would hold a 2023 summer tour.
