Writing and composition
[edit]The song was written by Serge Pizzorno and co-produced by Pizzorno and Mark Ralph.[4] Lyrically, "Algorithms" is a commentary on the emergence of artificial intelligence.[2] PopMatters has described the song as "the only one with a less-than-positive message" on the album, which was released a year later.[5]
In a press release, Serge Pizzorno explained that "‘Algorithms’ is a song that explores the idea that robots can’t experience emotion and being in the moment, whereas humans can, and that is the beauty that separates us… for now."[2]
