About More Than That

"More Than That" is a song by American singer and songwriter Lauren Jauregui, released on January 11, 2019. Written by Jauregui two to three years before its release, the song was inspired by Greek goddess Aphrodite and depicts a flirtation that is challenged. Creatively directed by Jauregui, the music video references Greek and Roman mythology, along with Sandro Botticelli's paintings Primavera and The Birth of Venus. "More Than That" was positively-received by music journalists, who called the song "darkly seductive", "hypnotic" and a "first-class banger".

"More Than That" is one of two songs Jauregui performed at MTV's Plus 1 The Vote Election Party in November 2018. On January 8, 2019, Jauregui announced that "More Than That" would be released on January 11, 2019. The following day, Jauregui released the single's cover art, inspired by the renaissance painting The Birth of Venus. Billboard described the cover as "sexy, Renaissance-era-inspired artwork"; Idolator called it a "glorious" and "literal work of art"; and MTV deemed it a "Louvre-worthy cover art". Jauregui said she wrote the song two or three years before its release. She kept her demo vocals on the song as she liked how it sounded.
