“I Love You, I’m Sorry” by Gracie Abrams
Abrams’ summer love sickness is the hallmark of The Secret Of Us, which impressively climbed to No.2 on the Billboard 200 in the US. The Taylor Swift collaboration, “us.,” initially propelled the rising singer-songwriter into mainstream culture. However, the subsequent single played the long game, toppling over 122 million streams compared to the former’s 75M on Spotify.
The accompanying music video for “I Love You, I’m Sorry” opens with Abrams on a perfect beach day and follows her hanging out with friends before she launches passionately into the fan-favorite bridge. The video was written and directed by Gracie’s long-time friend and collaborator, Audrey Hobert, who also directed the music video for the album’s lead single, “Risk.” Stream “I Love You, I’m Sorry” by Gracie Abrams below!
