Looking for Love In the Wrong Place (song)

## Looking for Love In the Wrong Place

"**Looking for Love In the Wrong Place**" (often shortened as "**Looking for Love**") is an unreleased song performed by Florrie. The song was included in her 2014 album sampler, hinting that it was intended to make the final cut for the 2014 version of her debut album; however, the project went ultimately shelved and the song went unreleased. The song has been performed live since 2012 in different times. "Looking for Love In the Wrong Place" is not registered in BMI or ASCAP, and the writers for the song are currently unknown.

## Background and composition

In 2014, Florrie released her fourth extended play, *Sirens*, to "generate some buzz" before releasing her debut album, originally planned for a late-2014 release. After the release of "Little White Lies" as the first single off the album, an album sampler surfaced onto the internet, which included some of the songs that would make the final cut for the album, and "Looking for Love In the Wrong Place" was listed among them as the track number 4.

"Looking for Love In the Wrong Place" is a pop song that runs at a moderately fast tempo of 117 beats per minute set at a 4/4 time signature, and the final version of the song lasts for three minutes and fifty seconds. The song features a bridge-verse-hook structure, somewhat different to the typical verse-hook structure common in pop music. Musically, it incorporates the use of synthesizers and heavy drums and hits through most of the song, while in the musical breaks, a vocoder following distorted Florrie vocals is present.

## Leak

In mid-2016, a massive leak of Florrie files occurred through different sites. Between these leaked files, the final version, its instrumental track and a demo version of the song leaked in August 21, 2016. The final mix and the demo version, labelled as "Looking for Love (In the Wrong Place)", can still be found in SoundCloud.

## Demo version

The demo version of the song is significantly shorter than the final mix, since it skips the first chorus. Another difference is that the musical arrangement of the demo version is simpler than the final mix, since it skips synthesizers and it has a softer drum arrangement, most notable in the first verse.

## Versions

* Final version — 3:50
* Demo version — 3:08
* Instrumental version — 3:50

## Lyrics

### Final version

No, nothing I can do

Nothing I can say

'Cause living without you

I can't escape, I can't escape

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

I shut my eyes so the light won't get in

I try to hide it but I'm wondering

Somehow the touch you had is gone

And were you the only one?

Am I wasting my time again? I don't know

If I have one chance could I let it go?

All the walls that you're building, they are falling apart

Shining light through the cracks of my lonely heart

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

If you love me, would you leave me with a broken heart?

Would you let the pieces fall apart?

Would you leave me with a broken heart?

Would you leave me with a broken heart?

No, nothing I can do

Nothing I can say

'Cause living without you

I can't escape, I can't escape

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

### Demo version

No, nothing I can do

Nothing I can say

'Cause living without you

I can't escape, I can't escape

I shut my eyes so the light won't get in

I try to hide it but I'm wondering

Somehow the touch you had is gone

And were you the only one?

Am I wasting my time again? I don't know

If I have one chance could I let it go?

All the walls that you're building, they are falling apart

Shining light through the cracks of my lonely heart

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

If you love me, would you leave me with a broken heart?

Would you let the pieces fall apart?

Would you leave me with a broken heart?

Would you leave me with a broken heart?

No, nothing I can do

Nothing I can say

'Cause living without you

I can't escape, I can't escape

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place

Am I looking for love in the wrong place as I

I had it all but it went to waste

I've been tryna get out, now I see your face

Looking for love in the wrong place
