"Old Love / New Love" is a song by American singer-songwriter Twin Shadow featuring D'Angelo Lacy. It was written for the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V, broadcast on the fictional radio station Radio Mirror Park, which Shadow hosted. To promote the video game, the song was released as a single on September 13, 2013, and Rockstar Games included it on their soundtrack album The Music of Grand Theft Auto V, on the Vol. 1: Original Music side. Musically, "Old Love / New Love" is a dance and house song with R&B and Hi-NRG influences, whose lyrics describe the protagonist being confused by a phone call he received from an ex-girlfriend whom he still loves despite his sorrow.[1]
The song was included in the final track list of Shadow's third studio album Eclipse, which Warner Bros. published in 2015. When "Old Love / New Love" was first released, it was praised by music critics for its composition, which set it apart from previous Shadow tracks, and reviewers named it a dance-floor-friendly song. The singer promoted the song in several live performances that same year, and it was remixed by American DJ Armand Van Helden.
