“This song was born out of the realization that it seems like we’re always looking for something or someone and that the object of our search isn’t exactly where we’re looking. This song was born out of our dissatisfaction with the Internet, scrolling through Instagram feeds and looking for something,” reveals Mark Almeida.
It is from this banal experience with the platform, he says, that the inspiration for the opening line of the song was born: “Who you’re looking for isn’t here.”
“The opening line was ‘what you’re looking for isn’t here.’ It was a who instead of who. But then I thought about it more and I discovered that this search is not for an object. It’s for a person. The structure of the song was shaped to be a conversation between two people. Anyone who pays attention to the lyrics will discover a big surprise in the play on words at the end of the song.the singer emphasizes.
