"Normal People Things" is a song by English indie rock band Lovejoy. It was released independently through Anvil Cat Records and AWAL on 6 October 2023. The song's music video followed a day after its release on 7 October.
Background
Frontman William Gold stated that the song is about "finding someone who ironically isn't normal and that rare connection you get where you go 'oh damn, You’re different but in a good way'".[1]
Music video
The music video was directed by Ted Nivison and filmed in Los Angeles during the band's US tour. Nivison stated that he wanted to put the band in "old awkward family portraits from the '70s-'90s. I really wanted to have most of the video be like a collection of living portrait photography, with only the final chorus being the moment in which they break out of it."[2]
Commercial performance
The song is tracking to debut within the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, which would mark Lovejoy's First UK top-10 song.[3]
