Background and composition

[edit]

"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 7

, and wrote the piano riff which would later form the basis of the song.[2][3]

The song deals with themes of self-doubt, self-acceptance, the end of relationships and loneliness.[1]
