Background

Talking about the song, Laurence said: "'Someone Else' is about the feeling you can get when you're all by yourself and your head starts spinning and replaying memories of a previous relationship. [...] Where you normally find comfort and distraction in your daily life, these days you are confronted almost every minute with those thoughts".[1]
