"Love Songs" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Daryl Braithwaite. It was released on 5 June 2020.[2] The song was certified gold in Australia in October 2020.

Background and release[]

Braithwaite was sent "Love Songs" by songwriter and old friend Michael Fatkin, who had worked on the track with Los Angeles-based writers Rozzi Crane and Charlie Snyder. 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."[2] 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]

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."[5]

Chart performance[]

"Love Songs" debuted on the ARIA Top 100 Singles Chart at number 80 for the chart dated 20 July 2020.[6] The following week, the song rose 37 positions, peaking at number 43.[7] This became Braithwaite's first top 50 chart appearance in 27 years; his first since "The World as It Is" in November 1993.[7]
