Duke and Jones' emotional and chill song following their Paradox EP is about how the subject had a one night stand with someone but they still had lingering feelings, saying that where it happened was a place she wasn’t usually fond of but was fond of the person it is about.
[Chorus]
You know that I did not care much for L.A
But I cared for you, ooh
You know that I wanted to stay
In that room with you, ooh
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
[Verse]
Shallow people and dark shades
Run on empty till they fade
You know I feel lost in the city
Too many thoughts in the city
It's all just talk in the city
People lose heart in the city
But I gained it from you and it faded
And I had it with you, and they hate it
To them I'm just another girl
You know that's not my kind of world
You know that's not my kind of world
[Chorus]
You know that I did not care much for L.A
But I cared for you, ooh
You know that I wanted to stay
In that room with you, ooh
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
[Bridge]
(In that room in L.A)
[Bridge]
Shallow People and dark shades
Run on empty till they fade
But I gained it from you and it faded
And I had it with you, and they hate it
To them I'm just another girl
What am I to you?
What am I to you?
[Chorus]
You know that I did not care much for L.A
But I cared for you, ooh
You know that I wanted to stay
In that room with you, ooh
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
[Outro]
Did not care much for L.A
But I cared for you, ooh
You know that I wanted to stay
In that room with you, ooh
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
In that room in L.A
