Body Love (song)

"Body Love" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter duo Ider for their debut studio album, Emotional Education. It was released on 3 November 2017 as the first single from the album.

Background and composition
"Body Love" was the first song recorded for Emotional Education, in late 2017. Markwick stated that a majority of the track was recorded in her and Somerville's flat in North London. Somerville had decided she wanted to write a song in septuple meter, and wrote the piano riff which would later form the basis of the song.

The song deals with themes of self-doubt, self-acceptance, the end of relationships and loneliness.

Music video
The music video for "Body Love" was released on 5 December 2017. Filmed mainly in Markwick and Somerville's flat, the video is a mix of candid videos of Markwick and Somerville, and sections of Markwick and Somerville singing the song. The video was co-directed by Ider and frequent Ider collaborator Lewis Knaggs.

Live performances
Ider performed "Body Love" live for The Line of Best Fit in December 2017.
