Amir Razari's latest album had skyrocketed him to the dizzying heights of success and fame. Yet despite the attention he garnered from fans and critics alike, there was an air of mystery shrouding the meaning behind a number of his songs, and more importantly, the people that inspired them.

"Amir, thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. I suspect your schedule is anything but quiet." The journalist chuckled, sitting across from the superstar as he glanced down at the notes in front of him, eager to commence the interview. The journalist in question was Marc Durand, a well-renowned music critic with heavy ties to publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard and NME. An observant man with a controversial interviewing style, with many accusing his keen interest for detail as an attempt to cross the boundaries of celebrities' professional and personal lives.

"One song that stands out for me on this album is 'Missed You: The tone of the writing is quite far removed from the lead single and the others that have followed. I think there's a sense of vulnerability on that track that we've not heard in the rest of your work before. Can you tell me more about that?" Durand began inquisitively. Amir pondered his question for a moment, framing an answer in his head before parting his lips to speak.

"When I write an album I'm often drawing a lot from the things going on in my life at the time. This album was written a quite a transitionary period for me personally. I was going through some big changes and that's lead to some songs having a very different feel to others [...] 'Missed You' was one of the last songs I wrote for this proiect and it was a reflection of my headspace at that time. I like the authenticity of it all though. The album's true to me and what I was feeling." He explained, taking brief pauses as he gathered his thoughts. Durand nodded, listening intently.

"You speak a lot about missing someone else whilst in another relationship. 'Missed You' opens up with 'Convinced myself to run around with someone else to forget about you'" Durand read the lyric from the notes in his hand.

"Recently you split from supermodel Rosa García, is this song about Soraya Salah, the mother of your daughter and previous partner?"

Amir immediately scoffed at the directness of Durand's question. Throughout his career so far he'd managed to maintain a large aspect of his privacy and he intended to keep it that way.

"I don't want to go into the details right now, but the song is based on my own feelings and experiences, yes."

Durand grinned, assessing Amir's answer for a moment as if they were playing a game of chess.

"The two of you have worked together on notable photoshoots very recently. Many have said that it seems you've realised who and what you were missing all along." He probed, fishing for just the slightest reaction that confirmed the information he was digging for.

Amir hated how correct Durand was. Even after making the effort to stay lowkey and diffuse any rumours regarding his love life, it was obvious that the world could still see how his love for Soraya had never died. How he searched for her in every woman he'd been with since their split.

Just as he went to answer, his publicist quickly jumped in, desperate to change the subject.

"I think we should move on."
