The track is the third single from ‘Dark Rainbow’, the band’s fifth album which is set for release on January 26 via International Death Cult. It follows the previously released songs ‘Bramble‘ and ‘Man Of The Hour’.
With lyrics “If I ever fall in love again, let me love myself / ‘Cause I cause pain in my heart like no one else / If I ever fall in love again, let me love myself / Before I give it all away to someone else,” the song describes someone attempting to forgive themselves ad let go of guilt and pain.
Speaking about ‘Self Love’ in a press release, frontman Frank Carter said: “‘Self Love’ is a mantra to live by in honour of the relationship that truly matters, the relationship you have with yourself. It can be easy to neglect yourself while spending energy fighting to win love from other people.”
He continued: “If you really care for yourself you realise you don’t need anyone else to be happy, and quite often when you stop looking for what you want the universe gives you exactly what you need.”
Directed by Ruth Hunduma, the track’s accompanying music video features Carter singing the track against a sunset lit backdrop while Dean Richardson plays guitar. Other shots in the video feature the duo singing and playing the track in a red room with flashing lights.
