The track was also featured as the Annie Mac’s Hottest Record. Speaking to Annie Mac, Hannah spoke about the band’s upcoming album, describing it as a “feminist record.” She talked about the importance of the album saying; “There is no point in doing this unless I’m saying something that means something to me.”

The band teased the new single last week by sharing a picture of written down lyrics on a recording panel with the caption; “Gone are the shadows and the past.” The lyrics read; “Are you happy now? Are you one in a million/ Are you happy now? Healing all my shame.”
This is the third single from London Grammar’s upcoming album Californian Soil, which is set to be released on April 9th after being delayed from the original date, February 12th 2021. The first single off the album, Baby it’s You was released in September 2020 and the title track followed it in October along with the tracklist and cover art for the album.
Speaking about the album in a press release in October, singer Hannah Reid said the album was about “gaining possession” of her own life and her experience with misogyny. She explained further saying; “You imagine success will be amazing. Then you see it from the inside and ask, ‘Why am I not controlling this thing? Why am I not allowed to be in control of it? And does that connect, in any way to being a woman? If so, how can I do that differently?”
She added; “Misogyny is primitive, which is why it is so hard to change. But it is also fearful. It’s about rejecting the thing in yourself which is vulnerable or feminine. Yet everybody has that thing.”
Californian Soil will be out on the 9th of April, you can check out the video for Lose Your Head below.
