## Audio (unofficial)

"**Song 2**", otherwise referred to as "**No One Noticed**" by fans, is a song by American indie pop band The Marías, informally released on the 22nd of July via their official website.

## Background and conceptualization

The development of "Song 2" can be traced years prior to its release. In 2020, María posted a snippet for a rough demo of the single to social media. However, the track wasn't planned to be finalized until mid-2021, most likely around the time *CINEMA* had released, and near the same time that "Song 1" began its ultimate recording process.

The track's debut, alongside "Song 1", was initially planned to be performed on October 1st, 2022, during The Marías' showing at the Greek Theatre. Nevertheless, this was promptly recanted as María asked fans if she should instead "just leak" the aforementioned songs rather than performing them. Due to a positive response to the post, María would end up doing so on the 22nd of July, 7 weeks after the original statements were published.

Albeit vague in announcement, fans would soon discover the audios of both songs were featured on The Marías' official website on a new page titled "??????". This page was sustained for two more days until its eventual removal on the 24th, although the files still remain in the site's database.

Each song is still expected to be distributed in the future.

> *They probably will be [added to streaming services in the future] but we're not sure when.
> Not for a while, [though], so screen-record them while you can.*

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Maybe I

Lost my mind

No one noticed

No one noticed

It's getting old (I'd kind like it if you'd call me)

All alone ('cause I'm so over being lonely)

May have lost it (I need a virtual connection)

I have lost it (be my video obsession)

**[Verse 2]**

No one tried

To read my eyes

No one but you

Wish it weren't true

Maybe I (I'd kind like it if you'd call me)

It's not right ('cause I'm so over being lonely)

Make you mine (I need a virtual connection)

Take our time (be my video obsession)

**[Hook]**

Come on, don't leave me it can't be that easy, babe

If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane

Fly to your city excited to see your face

Hold me, console me and then I leave without a trace

Come on, don't leave me it can't be that easy, babe

If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane

Fly to your city excited to see your face

Hold me, console me and then I leave without a trace

Come on, don't leave me it can't be that easy, babe

If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane

Fly to your city excited to see your face

Hold me, console me and then I leave without a trace (maybe I)

Come on, don't leave me it can't be that easy, babe (is not right)

If you believe me, I guess I'll get on a plane (make you mine)

Fly to your city excited to see your face (take our time)

Hold me, console me and then I leave without a trace

**[Outro]**

I'd kinda like if you'd call me

(It's not right)

'Cause I'm so over being lonely

(Make you mine)

I need a virtual connection

(Take our time)

Be my video obsession

## Trivia

* In a 2020 demo of "Song 1", multiple lyrical changes can be heard. The second verse's "it's not right" and "take our time" were replaced with "be my type" and "take your time."
