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\".\n

On 16 May 2020, Laurence performed the song live on Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light. It replaced the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which was planned to be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was broadcast live from Hilversum, Netherlands.\n
