“Carry Me Away” is John’s first single in a little less than a year, following his previous single “I Guess I Just Feel Like”.

The song was announced on Instagram a week before it’s release, with John saying that it described his Summer Vacation.

It is a groovy track that sounds much different from John’s previous songs, and as far as John’s songs go, it is rather short. It describes how John wants to start a new relationship as he feels as if “[he’s] a bore”. The listener never figures out if he gets the relationship he is longing for or not.
