Background and promotion

In an interview with Paper , Dean shared that she had been "working really hard" on the album, expressing a desire to "sing for everybody" and be welcomed with "open arms" and "love", a gesture she described as a "vulnerable" act. [1] The result has been described as a "tender, intentional deep dive" into different forms of love, including "romantic, platonic, self, and everything in between". [2] The album has also been called "her most intimate work yet", showcasing the qualities her audience has come to admire. [3]

Dean announced The Art of Loving on 2 June 2025. [4] To accompany the news, she released the lead single, "Nice to Each Other", on 30 May. Dean described the track as a "push and pull of exploring your independence in dating" and emphasised its "playfulness". [5] The album's release is preceded by several live performances, including joint appearances with Sabrina Carpenter and Sam Fender, as well as her own headlining North American tour. [6]

The album will be supported by the The Art of Loving Live 2026 tour.
