The single was released on 27 January 2015. It peaked at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart in the chart week ending 30 July 2015.

Background

The Score, based in Los Angeles, were unsigned when the British supermarket Asda chose "Oh My Love" as the soundtrack to its 2015 "Save Money, Live Better" advertising campaign.^[2] According to Chris Chalmers from the company, "Part of [The Score]'s attraction was that they were unsigned and unknown. There is a great back-story, where the manager had the great sense to send the track to all CEOs of major UK businesses. It found its way to us and felt like a brilliant track to support our campaign".^[3]

The track gained more notability as it became the most popular track of 2015 from an advert on the music identification app Shazam.^[2] Based on this success, the song eventually reached number 43 on the UK Singles Chart on 30 July 2015.^[4] It also peaked at number 17 on the iTunes Chart the same week.^[5]

Oh My Love's breakout success led to The Score signing a record deal with Republic Records. Their debut album, Atlas, was released on 13 October 2017.^[6]

The song also appears in the 2015 film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip and its soundtrack.
