THE RR COMMUNITY

Here's what users who submitted 'Looking Back' had to say about it!

"The fact that this song speaks about feeling 'torn' between two identities as a mixed race person is a sentiment that I have heard reiterated countless times online as well as by close friends of mine. It's heartbreaking that many people feel they exist in 'no man's land' due to the societal belief that belonging to and identifying with one country is integral, especially when we all have mixed heritages deep down and exist in a time where travelling across countries and locations is so common."
