After a very personal two-year absence and the possibility of an early retirement, the Canadian crooner decided to return to the stage back in July, in the wake of the recording of a follow-up to 2016’s Nobody But Me.

Bublé, 43, avoided the spotlight for a couple of years after touring his last album. He opted to spend time with his family as his eldest son, Noah, was diagnosed with cancer. He wanted to maximize on his family time and be there for Noah throughout treatment.

After a tough battle, Noah went into remission last April. Bublé’s wife, Luisana Lopilato, stated during a press conference in Buenos Aries:

“My son’s recovery is a long process, as you all know, and he has to continue with check-ups. But we are very happy. We are looking forward to thinking about the future, to seeing our children grow.”

Bublé and Lopilato just welcomed their third child (and first daughter), Vida, into the world.

About his return to the stage he admitted, “People can say it isn’t a comeback, but man, I was gone and I didn’t know if I would ever, ever come back.”

Following a daily streak of consecutive teaser tweets, Bublé dropped the debut music video from Love after a Facebook Live announcement.

“Everybody talks about how their latest record is the best one … And it should be. You should be proud and you should be excited about the very last thing you’ve done,” he said. “But I don’t wanna talk about it [Love]. I want you to talk about it,” he added.

He expressed his gratitude to his fans in the Facebook Live and shared how much it meant to him and his family. “For me, this [Love] is a small way of being able to thank you and tell you how much I love you.”

The music video for When I Fall in Love, dropped immediately after.
