"Your Blood" is a song recorded by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora for her fifth studio album, What Happened to the Heart? (2024). She wrote and produced it along with Chris Greatti. It was released through Decca Records and Universal Music Group on 8 November 2023 as the lead single from the album. The song marked Aurora's first release of new solo musical material in nearly two years since her previous 2022 album The Gods We Can Touch. An indie pop track with synthesizer-infused instrumentals, "Your Blood" was compared by music critics to the works of the Swedish rock band the Cardigans.
Aurora first teased a new song on 27 October 2023 while sharing, in her X (formerly Twitter) official account, an audio video and a link to pre-save the song, with the caption "08.11".[1] On 31 October, she shared a video and audio clip with an emoji of a blood drop.[1] On the following day, she officially announced the release of "Your Blood", along with its cover artwork. She also confirmed a series of concert dates in Norway.[2] She said in a statement: "Hello my darlings. I've been feeling slightly torn about releasing new music, when there’s so much pain in the world. But with time I've decided there might be no better time to give you a little song... Than now".[3] Aurora referred to the Gaza humanitarian crisis as a result of the Israel–Hamas war.[4]
