"My Love" is the debut single by British music producer and DJ Route 94, featuring vocals from British recording artist Jess Glynne. It was released in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2014, through Rinse Recordings. The song topped the UK Singles Chart, peaked at number 12 on the Irish Singles Chart and also charted in Belgium. The song was written and produced by Route 94. The single is styled in deep house and bears strong influences from 1990s Eurodance.

Glynne's previous single, "Rather Be" with Clean Bandit, topped the UK chart the previous month.[1]

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating:

"The latest producer-turned-frontman poised to take over the charts seemingly out of nowhere is Route 94; a Rinse FM-signed wonderkid who has shot through the ranks after receiving praise from Radio 1's Annie Mac as well as D'n'B DJs Skream and Benga. What's more, his mysterious alias actually holds meaning: it's the US highway that links Chicago - the home of house music - and Detroit, the birthplace of techno. Naturally, what will almost certainly be his breakthrough hit 'My Love' lands somewhere in the middle on the deep house pH spectrum, its heady piano thuds and gauzy electro glow offset by the radio friendly vocals of Jess Glynne, who featured on Clean Bandit's recent chart topper 'Rather Be'. And while you'd think the latter's recent success would have satisfied the public's appetite for chart-friendly house, we suspect its reign is far from over yet." [2]

Chart performance

The song debuted at number one for 1 week on the UK Singles Chart, dethroning Pharrell Williams's single "Happy" and also was number one on the UK Dance Chart, dethroning Clean Bandit's single "Rather Be", which also features Glynne, from that position with first-week sales of 120,770. It was also successful in mainland Europe, peaking within the top ten in five other countries, peaking at number 2 on the Euro Digital Songs chart behind Pharrell Williams, for one week.

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "My Love" was first released onto YouTube on 27 January 2014 at a total length of three minutes and eleven seconds and was filmed in infrared. It follows a young man (Jon Fleming) as he enters a club, dances with a young woman (Lorena Fain), leaves with her, they embrace in the rain and later at her house it is implied that they have sex. She then showers and he leaves. Just before the video ends, it turns back to normal colour and the young man is shown walking out in the rain.[3]
