Background and composition
The title track is a combination of two unfinished This Is Lorelei tracks from summer 2017.[1] “Break” was composed in October 2018 with lyrics finalized and recorded in February 2019.[1] Following the release of Water from Your Eyes' first EP All a Dance in 2018, they released Somebody Else's Song.[1]
Critical reception
Quinn Moreland of Pitchfork would comment on the album saying the songs "focus on the push and pull between the comfort of dreams and a hazy reality.”[2] Tom Alexander writing for Post-Trash described it as more "nuanced" and "radical" than [their] previous work.[3]
