Pulp have returned with new single “Got To Have Love”. The song is the band’s forthcoming album More available on June 6, 2025 via Rough Trade Records. The band released the album’s lead single “Spike Island,” last April.

“‘Love’ is a word I was unable to say until I was approaching 40”, explains Jarvis Cocker,

“I listened to love songs all the time but couldn’t use the word in real life. The words to this song are me having a word

with myself about this state of affairs. I gave myself a real talking-to.
I have now learnt how to say it whilst keeping a straight face.

‘You’ve got to have love’.
Oh yes you have.”

"It’s a slightly hysterical song that tries to talk about love as I see it now," Jarvis Cocker reveals of the track, which
seems destined for immediate live anthem status when the band kick off their UK & Ireland Arena tour in June (see
below), followed by more dates – including a full North American tour – later this year.   
 
A Jarvis Cocker-directed video for the track has been created which pairs the song with footage from the iconic 1977 Wigan Casino documentary directed by Tony Palmer. Weaving the footage of Northern Soul dancers together with Pulp's music, the video underlines the ‘Got To Have Love’ dancefloor credentials. 
 
“I love dancing – & this is the best footage of dancing I’ve ever seen. I first saw it in Mark Leckey’s ‘Fiorucci Made Me
Hardcore’ video” says Jarvis.
 
We say: Get down. 
 
International Pulp Listening Parties
 
Additionally, Pulp are offering fans across the world the chance to hear More ahead of its release on 6 June. Partnering with some of their favourite record shops around the globe, the album will be played in full for fans at a
series of in-store listening parties. 
 
All UK and Ireland listening parties will take place on 29 May and, along with hearing More in full, those attending will have the opportunity to pre-order a very limited-edition vinyl version of the album that will feature the name of the shop where it was purchased. Details of the dates for the international listening parties can be found online, with more set to be announced soon.
