"No One Noticed" is a song by American indie pop band the Marías, released on May 3, 2024, as the third single (alongside the song "If Only") from their second studio album Submarine (2024).
Composition
[edit]"No One Noticed" has been described as a "dissociated yacht pop" song.[1] It depicts the mental discomfort and worries from being in a relationship with a distant partner. María Zardoya pleads her lover to stay while attempting to give reasons for a deep connection despite the remote nature of the romance. Echoing background vocals which describe her thoughts are layered throughout the song.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Shaad D'Souza of Paper stated the song "goes down so easy you might not notice it's kind of devastating."[1] Chris DeVille of Stereogum wrote "The floaty slow dance 'No One Noticed' is practically a symphony of vibes, but it hits so much harder with Zardoya ushering us into her headspace with an opening line like 'Maybe I lost my mind/ No one noticed' and then complicating her perspective with bars like 'No one tried to read my eyes/ No one but you/ Wish it weren't true.'"[3]
Release and promotion
[edit]In the following months of its release, the song slowly achieved popularity through the video-sharing platform TikTok, where it has been soundtracked in videos about sadness. Singer Billie Eilish posted herself singing along to the song in an Instagram story on July 17, 2024, which has helped the song gain wider recognition.[4]
