Recording and theme

Alexa started writing the song on an acoustic guitar, with Jim Marr and Wendy Page. Alexa states "Jim and Wendy are great". We got to know each other when we wrote "My Day Will Come", so it was nice to work together again.".[1] Alexa states "When I wrote Somebody Out There, I had just started a new relationship. I was in LA writing, and my somebody out there was in Australia. One line sums it up for me "A thousand miles, a million smiles, how many more to go? I was thousands of miles away, meeting lots of people, but I couldn't wait to get home. Of course you can look at this song another way that there's somebody out there for everybody".[2]

gollark: Stop them when they actually directly incite violence, I guess, but not before.
gollark: Later: *more speech inevitably censored*
gollark: "We must censor your speech slightly! Look, there's an outgroup there, it's totally necessary""What if you start doing more?""We totally won't! Also outgroup. Look, this is a bad outgroup"
