Tove Lo is the voice of reason on tender pop single "Glad He's Gone".

The Swedish singer/songwriter's new single follows on from her Diplo feature "Win Win".

Speaking about her new single, Tove Lo says, "It’s about friendship and love. It’s the obligatory pep-talk you give your girlfriend when she’s going through a breakup. You’re reminding her she’s your partner-in-crime and showing unconditional support. It makes fun of the demands of being a good girlfriend and the dirty stuff you do just to make him confident. There’s a message to it. I’m telling a real story that I think girls need to hear. You want to know your friends are there for you during a breakup. It’s about all the fun you can have after heartbreak."

"Glad He's Gone" is taken from Tove Lo's forthcoming album Sunshine Kitty, which was recorded between LA and Sweden.

Tove Lo describes the album title as "a play on pussy power, but it’s a happy, positive way of seeing it. It ties in with the lynx. This cartoon cat (featured on the artwork) is an extension of me and part of the new music. She’s super cute, but she does stupid shit like getting in fights and getting fucked up. It’s how I feel the album sounds."

"Glad He's Gone" is out now. Sunshine Kitty is yet to receive a release date. Tove Lo has a few festival appearances over the next few months. Find out more.
