This City

"This City" is a single by Australian singer Sam Fischer, originally released independently in 2018, but re-released on 13th of December, 2019 by his record label, RCA Records. It is featured on his debut extended play (EP), Not a Hobby.

Background
Fischer wrote this song explaining his emotions and feelings about the city he’s residing in now – Los Angeles. As quoted by his own explanation for creating this song:

“The day I wrote this song I was having a tough time. I had become disillusioned with my personal identity, my connection to music and with LA in general, as if I wanted LA more than LA wanted me. LA can be a really lonely place. When you’re up you’re on top of the world and when you’re down it’s devastating, but we’re all here for a reason so we don’t like talking about how hard it gets because we blindly believe it’ll all work out in the end. I think This City can be a safe place to feel those feelings and hopefully feel less alone."

Theme
The song is a homesick ballad, describing a feeling of loneliness and not belonging in a city he has lived in for so long.
