Galović was born in Peteranec near Koprivnica, the only son of Stjepan, a well-off peasant, and Dora (Jadanić). He studied Slavistics and philology in Zagreb, focusing primarily on the Croatian language and literature, with classical philology of Latin and Greek as secondary focuses. During his studies, he joined the youth wing of the Party of Rights movement and became editor for its magazine, Mlada Hrvatska ('Young Croatia'). However, due to his participation in a student strike, he spent his fourth semester in Prague. In 1909, he voluntarily registered for military service, serving as a reservist cadet for the 27th Home Guard Infantry Regiment in Sisak. In 1913, he finished his studies in philology and began teaching at the Second Gymnasium in Zagreb. In 1914, he finished his Slavistics studies and continued his critical works. By autumn of 1914, Galović was mobilized and served as a warrant officer during the Serbian campaign of World War I. He was killed in combat on 26 October 1914, in Mačva near Radenković. A day earlier, he had written to his friend and fellow writer Milan Ogrizović: My dear, I greet you once again. It's morning and we have to rush at 10 o'clock. It's sunny, Sunday and a wonderful, warm morning. One would really like to die on such a sunny day. Tell Sanctissima to pray for the repose of my soul if I am gone. Your Fran loves you. Galović was buried on 31 October 1914 in Mirogoj Cemetery.
