Algorithms is a song by English rock band Kasabian and the lead single from their eighth album, Happenings . The song was released for digital download on 16 June 2023, by Sony Music. [1] It was released amid a UK and Ireland headline tour, which took place in summer 2023. [2] [3]
The song was written by Serge Pizzorno and co-produced by Pizzorno and Mark Ralph. [4] Lyrically, "Algorithms" is a commentary on the emergence of artificial intelligence. [2] PopMatters has described the song as "the only one with a less-than-positive message" on the album, which was released a year later. [5]
In a press release, Serge Pizzorno explained that "‘Algorithms’ is a song that explores the idea that robots can’t experience emotion and being in the moment, whereas humans can, and that is the beauty that separates us… for now." [2]
Kasabian have released a lyric video for the single, for which they collaborated with digital design studio Uncanny. [2]
