Watch: Romy – ‘Love Who You Love’

Romy returns with a new single and music video ‘Love Who You Love’. The track serves as a symbolic closing chapter to Mid Air – her bold 2023 debut solo album exploring the intimacy of queer love and self-discovery. Produced by BloodPop, Romy, and Jamie xx, ‘Love Who You Love’ is a labor of love having been in Romy’s care since 2020. It’s a powerful message of liberation, one that feels more vital than ever. The single arrives alongside a music video starring Romy and directed by her creative and life partner, Vic Lentaigne.

Romy explains, “My new song Love Who You Love is a proudly queer love song. It was also really important to me to acknowledge that the world is STILL such a challenging place for so many of us to show our love openly in the LGBTQ+ community. In reaction to that I wanted to write a song that not only celebrates and uplifts love as well as calls for change. The history of resilience and togetherness in the face of unbelievable challenges within the community is so powerful. Personally, finding friends, family and people I look up to and learn from – through queer clubbing has made me feel so much less alone and braver in so many aspects of life. These experiences and the people I’ve met, continue to be so inspiring to the music I’m making and this song intends to be a love letter of visibility and pride. No one can take the love you feel away from you — it’s yours.”

In July, Romy released the Mid Air (Transcendence Remixes) EP – a bold, personally curated collection featuring Parisian producer Julie Desire, London DJ Luca Perry, and South London’s Angel D’lite. The EP follows acclaimed reworks by DJ HEARTSTRING, I. JORDAN, TDJ, Jayda G, Planningtorock, and Anz. To celebrate, Romy revived Club Mid Air with a special Transcendence fundraiser at London’s Dalston Superstore, raising funds for London Trans+ Pride and donating proceeds from a limited-edition Protect Trans Lives T-shirt and the EP to charities Not A Phase and Mermaids.

Now at the tail end of a standout summer festival run, which included a landmark Glastonbury Arcadia set, Brighton Pride, Glasgow’s Shoot Your Shot, London’s Body Movements, and Ibiza appearances at Homobloc (Amnesia) and Ushuaïa Ibiza alongside Calvin Harris, Romy wrapped her 2025 live season with a DJ set at Manchester’s Warehouse Project.

On the horizon, Romy has reunited with The xx in the studio, where the trio are currently working on new music.
