Speaking to Rolling Stone about the track, Suki shared, “‘To Love’ is a song that I wrote really recently that I was going to wait to put out on my second album. But I felt like it is a very distinct portrait of my heart right now that I wanted to share. I started performing it on tour and got so excited that I wanted to share it with everyone.”

This is Suki’s first release since her EP, Milk Teeth, released in November 2022. The EP featured her most well-received track to date, “Good Looking,” which exploded on TikTok, catapulting Suki to a new level of popularity. The track currently has in excess of 157million streams on Spotify, and pushed Suki into the category of melancholy pop girls amongst contemporaries Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers.

Suki shared her feelings surrounding her songwriting with NME, saying “I felt incredibly blocked in my own autobiographical memory of who I was or what I could be. Jumping into those anxieties helped me feel free. That’s not to say suddenly everything became super joyous and easy, but I think if you want to stay in that state of creativity, the whole thing is, a lot of the time, it’s not a great place to be at all.”

Suki continued, “That’s what has to be appreciated – the pockets of bliss are small and it’s the muddiness in between and the willpower to jump into the fear [that lead you to them].”

Suki has credited “a delusional confidence” for her ability release her art, saying, “I think it’s something to do with an acknowledgement of fear. It’s when you’re not afraid to show up with the things that you’re afraid of that leads to confidence.”

Speaking on her debut album, Suki said, “I wrote the album in much more of a hurt place, a much more hollow and confused space,” with her newest release, “To Love” seeing her move into a more positive, comfortable realm.

Suki’s relationship with Robert Pattinson has made headlines recently, following their attendance of the 2023 Met Gala together, with many fans viewing “To Love” as an ode to Pattinson, though Suki hasn’t commented on this herself.

In addition to her music releases, Suki recently starred in the Amazon Prime TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s popular novel, Daisy Jones and the Six. Suki played a character not too dissimilar from her real life persona, starring as Karen, a keyboard player keen to move up the ranks of the LA music scene in the 1970s.

The cast recorded an album as the titular fictional band, with the original songs written by Blake Mills, who has previously worked with the likes of Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey.

Speaking on the experience of recording the album with her costars, Suki said, “To get to actually play together so much that you genuinely are a band was very unlike anything I’d ever experienced.”

The official synopsis says that “the new feature length film takes viewers on the journey with Simon, Ben and James as they return to their home in Ayrshire to create their latest, critically acclaimed album in the most unusual of studio environments. The film explores how the experience of recording an album in Scotland for the first time prompted the band to reflect on the importance of where they’re from, how this has influenced their career to date and reinforced their lifelong bond as friends and bandmates.“

The band (which comprises singer/guitarist Simon Neil, drummer Ben Johnston and bassist James Johnston) released The Myth of the Happily Ever After last October, with it becoming their sixth Top 5 album in a row. Recorded much quicker than their previous material and released as a surprise album, Neil has spoken in an interview recently on the more spontaneous approach the record had.

“Normally when I’m writing there’s 18 months of working on the songs. This one felt so spontaneous …. We did no pre-production. We would normally record ourselves in the practice room. This was like, ‘Here’s a song, let’s record it …. Because of the pandemic, the purpose of the music felt more pure, knowing that we weren’t going to go out on a promotional tour.“

The documentary also features the group’s performance at Glasgow Green last year, after over a year of being unable to perform. Speaking on the difficulty of performing after so long, Neil said “It was tough! … The big step for us was just even getting in a room and playing live together. That was the first time where things made sense …. There’s a level of fear that builds just having not engaged with more than three people for the last 18 months …. I think that led to something truly transcendental happening at the shows.”

Biffy Clyro are also soon to embark on a tour, going through North America in the spring. They’re also due for some dates in Europe after having to postpone due to the pandemic. If you’re interested in tickets, you can look here.
