Can't Do Without You

Dan Snaith wrote "Can't Do Without You", which opens Our Love at 3:56; it was the first single, made available free online on June 3, 2014. He told Stereogum he wrote it with festival crowds in mind and calls it a euphoric song with a melancholy note, its core being reliance between him and someone close, described as almost dysfunctional. The Ringer called it the tender and massive leadoff and his most straightforwardly triumphant moment to date; in the film Long Shot it plays in a scene that made him reflect on club culture.

The video has a boy chased through woods by a large colorful fish, which he gains control of and sends into the sky; fans could enter a contest to win the fish (Okayplayer, April 15, 2015). Reports of its director differ and we could not confirm one. Pitchfork's list of the 200 best songs of the 2010s is said to place it 69th and Treble put it in its top 50 songs of 2014, though we did not see either page.

MusicBrainz lists an Extended Mix of 6:34, which is on the expanded edition and a standalone single, a Samm rework of 6:46 and a live recording at Brixton Academy in March 2015 of 6:57. Late-2024 sets used it as the closer, among them the Salt Shed in Chicago on November 17, Massey Hall in Toronto on November 23, the Olympia in Dublin on November 25 and the Enmore in Sydney on January 3, 2025. We found no covers or samples and could not tell whether our upload is the album or the video version.
