Background and cover art

The song was recorded in 2016, and was one of the first songs recorded for Pollinator. Lyrically, it is about recovering after a breakup after thinking that the relationship was meant to last and picking up the pieces and leaving, still remaining in love. The cover art released for the single is exactly the same blue version of the album cover used for the artwork of the promotional single "Tonight."

Critical reception

"Too Much" met with critical acclaim, as did the previous Pollinator's singles. The Key claims "Pierced with synths and one of the catchiest hooks on the record, “Too Much” is another contemporary classic." Mushroom Promotions states that this song "proves Blondie continues to evolve almost song by song." However, Under the Radar Magazine called it "slick and sticky," and "has little to offer outside of the chorus." The song has a rating of 3.18 out of 5 on Rate Your Music. Despite critical acclaim, the song did not chart.
