NME Describes “Loving Someone” In Their Track-By-Track Review Of "I Like It When You Sleep…" 'Immediately After That Takedown Of Romance Comes A High-Pitched Voice Declaring “You Should Be Loving Someone/Yeah You Should Be Loving Someone.” This Song Isn’t Really An Answer To ‘Somebody Else’ Even If Its Chorus Is Less Nihilistic Than Its Predecessor. It’s A Half-Rapped Social Observation Including Lines On How The Media And Popular Culture Conditions Its Youth “It’s Better If We Keep Them Perplexed/Better If We Make Them Want The Opposite Sex” . There’s Also The Golden Lyric “I’m The Greek Economy Of Cashing Intellectual Cheques” Which Is An Outstanding Highlight On A Record Full Of Brilliant Lines And A Spoken Word Bit From Matty That’s Buried Low In The Mix."
