So in Love (OMD song)

"So in Love" is a song by the band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1985 as the first single from the album Crush. The artwork, designed by XL Design, and the promo video were both influenced by the Mexican Day of the Dead festival.

Critic Dave Thompson in AllMusic praised "So in Love" as a "rich and sumptuous number" that is "well in keeping with the group's signature styling". Colleague Tom Schulte described the song as being – along with the following year's "If You Leave" – the "pinnacle" of the band's musical progression.

Song history

Although "So in Love" was the first single from Crush, it was one of the last songs written for the album. It was originally dropped until band member Martin Cooper persuaded Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys to make a demo for the song. Andy McCluskey said it was about the painful end of a relationship. It was their first hit in the United States, after five years of trying to "break" the States.
