We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time
This one’s for the weirdos
One day we’ll be heroes

I’d see you every night if I could
Stuck like glue
Hanging out in your neighbourhood
Just watching the days roll by before

Algorithms
Taking control
The robots believing
They have a soul
They’ll never feel like this

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time
This one’s for the zeroes
One day we’ll be heroes

I’d see you every night if I could
Try to understand
But I’ve got you holding back the flood
Do you remember the days before

Algorithms
Taking control
The robots believing
They have a soul
They’ll never feel like this

I’ll tell you about it one sunny day
I whisper to you before you go away
You life me up from solid ground
I promise you I’ll never let you
I won’t let you down
Because

Algorithms
Taking control
The robots believing
They have a soul
They’ll never feel like this

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time

Algorithms is the eleventh and final track from Kasabian’s eighth studio album, Happenings. It’s release was first teased on 23 May 2023, with an Instagram post of the band in the studio, captioned “Warming up the algorithms.” This was followed up with multiple promotional videos, in which Serge read scripts written by AI to promote the upcoming single release.

The song received its live premiere with a performance at the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin on 13 June 2023. This was followed by an acoustic performance of the track by Serge outside of the venue.

The song was officially released on 16 June 2024, accompanied by a lyric video, which was produced by UNCANNY.

“It’s about the human connection. It’s about [going to a gig]. It’s what we have over the robots. The robots don’t have this shit.” – Sergio Pizzorno, 2024
