MOTTOback number
When it comes to back number, known for producing numerous love songs, it’s all about bittersweet unrequited love songs and breakup songs! In this track, the lyrics depict someone so desperate to be understood that their desire for the other person could be called obsessive love, to the point they can’t let go.

If you’ve experienced love, there are probably many parts you’ll relate to.

Their lyrics depict everyday scenes, and I think that often makes it easy to relate and vividly picture them as you listen.
I believe that’s an important element in making a song personally meaningful.
This track, full of those relatable moments—especially the chorus line that goes, “I wanted to see the same scenery”—has likely struck a chord with many.
Yet, in contrast to how romantically it’s written, the song tells of a fleeting heartbreak and a faint lingering attachment, and it’s sure to move you as it overlaps with your own experiences.
