Critical reception[]

Liverpool Echo called the song "cheerful and catchy."[1] Music & Media wrote, "The well-known PWL-vibe, sometimes known as 'the sound of a bright young Britain' strikes back. G.L.A.D. stands for Good Lovin And Devotion, and is taken from Appleby's solo debut album as the follow-up to Don't Worry. It's solid but not exactly profound."[2] Newcastle Evening Chronicle described it as "bouncy bubbly pop", noting that Appleby co-wrote it with late sister Mel and ex Bros Craig Logan.[3]

The music video for "G.L.A.D" was directed by British director, producer and writer of films and television series Nick Willing.[4]
