Romy closes Mid Air chapter with new single, "Love Who You Love"

06 November 2025, 11:06 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

The xx's Romy has returned with a new single, "Love Who You Love", which serves as a symbolic closing chapter to her 2023 debut solo album, Mid Air.

“My new song Love Who You Love is a proudly queer love song. It was also really important to me to acknowledge that the world is STILL such a challenging place for so many of us to show our love openly in the LGBTQ+ community. In reaction to that I wanted to write a song that not only celebrates and uplifts love as well as calls for change,” Romy explains.

“The history of resilience and togetherness in the face of unbelievable challenges within the community is so powerful. Personally, finding friends, family and people I look up to and learn from - through queer clubbing has made me feel so much less alone and braver in so many aspects of life. These experiences and the people I’ve met, continue to be so inspiring to the music I’m making and this song intends to be a love letter of visibility and pride. No one can take the love you feel away from you — it’s yours.”

Produced by BloodPop, Romy, and Jamie xx, "Love Who You Love" is a labor of love having been in Romy’s care since 2020. The single arrives alongside a music video starring Romy and directed by her creative and life partner, Vic Lentaigne.

Since the GRAMMY- and BRIT-nominated Mid Air, release, Romy has shared a run of high-profile collaborations including I’m On Your Team with Sampha, Always Forever (a reimagining of Donna Lewis’ classic, with a video by Aftersun director Charlotte Wells), Lift You Up with Jessie Ware, and Waited All Night alongside her xx bandmates Jamie xx and Oliver Sim.

"Love Who You Love" is out now via Young.
