"On My Love" is a song by Swedish singer Zara Larsson and French DJ David Guetta. It was released as the third single from Larsson's fourth studio album, Venus (2024), on 15 September 2023 through Sommer House and Epic. It follows their first collaboration "This One's for You" (2016), the official UEFA Euro 2016 song. The song reached the top three in Latvia and Sweden and the top ten in Norway.

Background and composition

On 7 September 2023, Larsson announced the song through her social media.[2] The singer revealed that the track is about relationships in your life that would make you "put everything on them".[3] Leaving open the fact whether it talks about a "platonic relationship", the love to a family member or a lover, it revolves around someone that brings "pure joy".[4] Upon release, Larsson dedicated the song to her sister Hanna.[5] "On My Love" was described as an "Ibiza-ready anthem tinged with Swedish melancholy".[6] The song was described as a "dance-pop anthem".[7]

It is composed in a key of B-flat minor and has a tempo of 123 beats per minute.

Music video

An accompanying music video, directed by duo Mutant and co-directed by Larsson herself, was released on 15 September and constitutes an "ode" to the close relationship Larsson shares with her sister.[5] The video starts out with a young Larsson introducing her sister who then appears wearing a cycling helmet. The visuals later move to the present day and feature the sisters riding motorbikes and going for a swim with friends.[8]
