Out Now: Singer-songwriter Andrew X releases new single “Where Are You Now”
Speaking on the new track Andrew shares, “I wrote ‘Where Are You Now’ after coming across an old picture of a dear friend from the past in a box of old photos. Seeing the picture instantly took me back to how she made me feel when we were together. It also made me feel a fair amount of guilt about how I treated her, and a fair amount of regret due to the fact I never told her how I really felt about her, and how great of a person I really thought she was. I don’t know where she is now, but I wish her the best, hope she doesn’t hold hard feelings, and hope that she has found love and is living a great life.”
