Dr. Dog Shares Breezy ‘Love Struck’ Single Featuring M. Ward

Dr. Dog released a new single, “Love Struck,” featuring singer-songwriter M. Ward. The track is set for Dr. Dog’s upcoming self-titled album, due out via We Buy Gold Records on July 19.

Dr. Dog marks the beloved Philadelphia-based band’s first album since 2018’s Critical Equation. In 2021, Dr. Dog announced their retirement from touring but have a few choice concerts on the books around the new album including Red Rocks, a hometown concert at The Mann and a newly announced appearance at Riot Fest in Chicago.

The Dr. Dog album rollout has seen four singles so far, “Tell Your Friends,” “Talk Is Cheap” and “Still Can’t Believe.” The band now follows with “Love Struck.”

“’Love struck’ was written very quickly because I’m in love,” guitarist Scott McMicken said. “One thing I wanted us to explore with this record was the idea of leaving more space in the music. As a rock band we’ve tended to focus on constantly ramping up the tension, but it felt good to bring a more fluid feel to a song like ‘Love Struck.’”

Dr. Dog’s latest single boasts backing vocals from M. Ward. McMicken appeared on M. Ward’s 2023 song, “New Kerrang.” Watch the music video for “Love Struck” below.
