"Super Far" is a song by American pop rock band LANY. It was released on June 28, 2017, as the third single from their self-titled debut studio album, which came out the same year. The song was written by vocalist Paul Klein and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder.
The band explained that "Super Far" is about the emotional pain of a relationship where two people are physically present but emotionally distant from each other. The lyrics focus on a relationship where one person is more emotionally involved than the other. Lyrics such as "All my friends keep saying that I'm way too good to you" and "If this is love, I don't want it" point to the emotional distance between the two and the frustration that comes from putting in more effort than is returned.

Jake, Les, and I flew back from tour and immediately went into 2 6-hour days of dance rehearsals then shot the music video the next day. it was hilarious and fun and pretty exhausting, but i’m really proud of us and proud of what we made. listen. [2]
