And Love Lyrics – Florence + the Machine

Florence + the Machine wraps her intense new album Everybody Scream with And Love, the final track that shifts from raw emotion to a gentle release. Out since October 31 via Polydor Records and Republic Records, the record dives deep into desire, fury, and ache, but this closer offers what Florence Welch calls a chance to “breathe out.”

It’s her way of countering the dark foresight she sees in her own songs, like the heavy warnings in King from earlier work—instead, she wrote this as a spell for something brighter, a projection of peace she hopes sticks around for everyone.

Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Florence shared how it came together: after channeling so much primal energy across the album, she wanted an exhale at the end, turning screams into sighs. That breath shows in the production too, courtesy of longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner, with Florence’s voice floating over subtle strings and piano that feel like settling into quiet after a storm. It’s not about chasing love anymore, but letting it land soft, recognizing how her lyrics often predict trouble—here, she’s flipping the script to manifest the good.

A week in, fans are lingering on this one, sharing how it reframes the whole project from chaos to calm. Threads on X pull apart that contrast, and early reviews call it the emotional anchor that makes the fury hit harder. If Everybody Scream is Florence at her most unguarded, And Love proves she’s betting on hope to close the circle.
