Sharing thoughts on the track, Mimi explains: “‘You Don’t Look at Me the Same’ is the most vulnerable song I’ve ever released. It’s written from the perspective of a child, telling the story of two people you love who are no longer on the same page—and you slowly watch them grow apart. Writing this was incredibly therapeutic for me, and I hope it offers the same comfort and understanding to anyone who listens.”
