Background and release

Braithwaite was sent "Love Songs" to him by songwriter and old friend Michael Fatkin, who had worked on the track with Los Angeles-based writers Rozzi Crane and Charlie Synder. Fatkin had wanted Braithwaite to forward the song to Roger Davies, the manager of Pink. Braithwaite said: "I sent it to Roger on my phone and didn't hear back. Weeks turned into a couple of months and eventually we ended up having lunch together – I asked what he thought of the song and he said he'd never received it". After hearing it, Davies told Braithwaite that it suited him better than P!nk. Braithwaite confesses "I was relieved, so, we went ahead and recorded it".[3][4][5]

The week following its release, Braithwaite said: "I'm so thrilled to have new music out there and that people like it. I wouldn't have ever dreamed I would have such a long career in music".[6]
