Background
editUpon release, the Jungle Giants' frontman Sam Hales said, "'Sending Me Ur Loving' has been with me for so long, it's been such a pleasure watching it finally form into a complete track that represents the new production direction. The chorus had originally been Changed attached to a different song, and by some stroke of luck clicked right into this beat. It's an ode to a feeling of self confidence, and essentially a love ditty at the same time."[2]
Reception
editAl Newstead from Triple J called it "a new hip-twitching single" saying "it further pushes the band's occupation into a unique venn diagram where dance music and kooky indie pop overlap, with neat choppy guitars skirting an infectious beat built with some of that thong-slapping tubular bass in the mix."[5]
Bruce Baker from The AU Review said "It's trademark Jungle Giants, with the jangly guitars, soaring vocals and a tune you want to shake your booty to."[6]
