Background

Talking to Digital Spy about the song Charli said: "SuperLove is a song about running away and falling in love with someone and it being really dangerous and bad for you but still amazing, romantic and wonderful, SuperLove is the best drug and this song is about overdosing on it and falling in real deep."[1]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "SuperLove" was first released onto YouTube on 26 September 2013 at a total length of three minutes and thirty-one seconds.[2] The video shows Charli XCX performing the song in a room covered in multi-coloured lights and dancing with robots.[1]

Critical reception

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

After spending the last two years on just about everyones ones-to-watch lists and generally owning the pop blogosphere, Charli XCX recently told us that she wants her next album to take music career to the next level. "I've learnt how to take control of what I'm doing and making sure it happens," she insisted, before describing her new material as a mix of Icona Pop's 'I Love It' and "those Lolita-esque bratty French girls and other girl power heroines". How could we not be excited? Better yet, her latest offering 'SuperLove' more than lives up to its ambitious billing. "You're whisky, wasted and beautiful dancing through the fire/ You're such a vision to see," she sings over a jaunty guitar line, swirling electronics and addictive cheerleader claps before unleashing a tongue-twister of a chorus that immediately knocks you over the head and commands your to dance along. And given Charli's current ambitious mindset, who are we to argue with her? [3]
