Metric Gears Up for “Formentera II” Release with Nostalgic New Single

Metric is set to launch their forthcoming album “Formentera II” next month, and they’ve given fans a taste of what’s to come with the new single “Who Would You Be For Me.” The track, as described by Emily Haines, is reminiscent of her time in New York City in 2002. It paints a vivid picture of moments in Tompkins Square Park, a journey in a subway car, and the familiar surroundings of a café on St. Marks Place. This café holds a special place in Haines’ heart, as it’s where she once waited tables during the band’s early days.

Delving deeper into the song’s message, Haines touches on the often challenging self-reflection we face when considering our automatic behaviors. It’s a journey of understanding how we sometimes mold ourselves to fit into someone else’s narrative, sidelining our own desires in the process. Through the lyrics, Haines brings forth a poignant question about relationships: while one might fit perfectly into another’s life, what role does the other person play in return? The song serves as a reflection on identity, desire, and the dynamics of relationships.
