"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. Similar to other singles from the album, "So Much" was released to coincide with a full moon, starting with the Dark-Side Mix produced by Tchad Blake. Later in the month, two additional mixes created by Mark 'Spike' Stent and Hans-Martin Buff were released.[1]
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, 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] Henry Hudson created the cover artwork, titled Somewhere Over Mercia;[1] Mercia was an ancient name for a region located near the birthplaces of Gabriel and Hudson.[4] The artwork features a yellow horizontal line imposed over an indigo sky.[5]
