Composition
"Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" is a pop rock song.[ 1] It features pulsating synths[ 1] [ 2] and a drum loop of driving rhythm.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Lyrically, the song revolves around moving on from a relationship and bearing no ill will toward one's past love,[ 3] as Benson Boone describes an encounter with his old lover while waiting for his current partner at a diner and being forced to apologize.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] He is hesitant to break her heart but explains "It's not personal".[ 2]
Critical reception
Danielle Holian of Atwood Magazine gave a positive review, praising the lyricism; "Boone's lyrical simplicity is its greatest strength here – he doesn't overcomplicate the narrative, but instead speaks directly to the heart of anyone who's experienced the awkwardness of seeing an ex when you're no longer on the same page.", production; "The blend of electronic elements with traditional instrumentation lends itself to a sound that feels both modern and timeless, a delicate balance that speaks to Boone’s versatility as an artist." and the song's "ability to be both personal and universally relatable."[ 4]
