"Where Are You" led off Healthy in Paranoid Times, Our Lady Peace's sixth album, coming out in Canada in June 2005 and in the US a month later, ahead of the album's August 30 release on Columbia, the Canadian band's last for the label. Raine Maida wrote the words, and the music credit is shared among Maida, Duncan Coutts, Steve Mazur, Jeremy Taggart and Bob Rock.
The album nearly broke them. By the liner notes' count it took more than three years, ten studios and 43 songs written and recorded, because the band couldn't settle on which songs, or which versions, to keep, and everyone involved quit, unofficially, at least once. What came out the other end is lighter in sound and less wrapped in metaphor than their pre-2002 work, with an eye on war and the state of the world.
