At the APRA Music Awards of 2020, "All Loved Up" was nominated for Most Performed Pop Work of the Year.[3][4]

Reception

Lyrically, the song has been compared to the work of Bruce Springsteen.

Cameron Adams from the Herald Sun, in an album review said "Jack Antonoff transports Shark into his '80s soundtrack world with "All Loved Up" — it's a Bleachers-style muted banger."[5]

Jonathan Robles from Variance Magazine, in an album review called "All Loved Up" "simply perfect". Adding "It's bursting with that pulsating, windows-down-on-the-freeway energy reminiscent of fellow high-speed cuts such as Taylor Swift's "Out of the Woods", Lorde's "Green Light" and Bleachers' own "Rollercoaster"."[6]

Isabella Trimboli from The Guardian said "All Loved Up" was "a clear standout" and said "[it] bears all the trappings of an Antonoff song: 80s-inspired instrumentation, thudding bass and a soaring, melodic chorus. Lyric-wise, it plays on Bruce Springsteen-reminiscent tropes of small town/big dreams".[7]

Music Video

The music video was shot in Los Angeles and was directed by David O'Donohue and produced by Felicity Jayn Heath.[8]
