It was released on 11 August 2023 through Warner Music UK and Atlantic as the lead single of Gibson's fourth studio album, Ten Days (2024).
Gibson commented the setting, saying that it "felt magical" hearing "this beautiful man sing".
[3] "Adore U" is dedicated to Gibson's sister and samples "I Wish It Was Me",[4] taken from Obongjayar's debut studio album Some Nights I Dream Of Doors (2022).
[5] The "heartfelt" song finds Obonjayar "chilling vocals"[6] "purring and quivering over increasingly warm and euphoric house music" which is eventually backed by a prominent hip-hop sample that "seamlessly integrates without disrupting the vibrant atmosphere".
[3] The beat is supported by "a bed of bubbling synths" and a touch of Gibson's "infectious, dancy goodness".
