"So Much" is a song by English musician Peter Gabriel, released in July 2023 as the seventh single in promotion of his tenth studio album I/O. Gabriel described "So Much" as a "simple song" that was "easy to digest but still had a bit of character to it".[1] He claimed in the Full Moon Update that the song was a bit polarizing, that "it will split an audience" "about 50/50" with those who love it and those who don't care for it.[2] According to Gabriel, Tchad Blake called it "the best thing that he has ever done."[2] Gabriel said that the song is about "mortality" and "getting old".[1]
Gabriel first revealed the song's title in 2020 when he responded to an article by Phillip Collins in The Times. In his response, Gabriel described "So Much" as a "getting old song".[3] The cover artwork is called Somewhere Over Mercia and was created by Henry Hudson.[1] Merica refers to an ancient name for a region located near the birthplaces of Gabriel and Hudson[4]
