"Where Are We" by Mathias Julin is an authentic exploration of what it's like to belong. The song's story starts in a crowded party where a couple feels out of place. Finding companionship and peace in their partner, the speaker uses the analogy of driving away together as a powerful expression of escape. The words "Just take my hand and let's get out" express the urgency of their need to be together and free of judgement. The lyrics convey the message that so long as the two lovers are together, they don't need to worry about other peoples opinions on superficial things like what they wear and how they behave.
This song hits the ear through a journey in confidence, starting off in a smooth, softer expression before building into a defined and passionate sound. Electronic percussive notes and ambient chords open the track. Mathias's melodic vocals are comforting through the verse. As the story in the song progresses, the instrumentals and vocals grow in volume and power. Percussion powerfully punctuates into the chorus as the singing flows into a passionate staccato. Piano and layered electronic instrumentals fold into the tune, basking in a carpe diem energy. Vocalizing ascends in the background as the question powerfully repeats: "can we lean into this moment and forget where we are?"
