Lyrics
Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno explained the song's meaning to 'New Musical Express' stating that "It's sitting at home seeing another kid get stabbed, everyone is scared and going, 'What the fuck is going on?" The song also speaks about the Internet, with Pizzorno elaborating in an interview with 'The Sun' that "Kids today grow up really quickly and there's too much information. News channels, the internet and social networking sites. People aren't leaving their bedrooms and it's just crazy. The things that make you most happy are quite simple. That song is looking for the romantic image of life, when people looked out for each other."
Music video
According to Serge Pizzorno, the song's music video was inspired by Kenneth Anger's films like Scorpio Rising, Busby Berkeley and French cabaret.[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=15748 Where Did All The Love Go? Songfacts]
