Writing and composition
The song was written by Serge Pizzorno and co-produced by Pizzorno and Mark Ralph.[5] Lyrically, "Algorithms" is a commentary on the emergence of artificial intelligence.[3] PopMatters has described the song as "the only one with a less-than-positive message" on the album, which was released a year later.[6]
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."[3]
Lyric video
Kasabian have released a lyric video for the single, for which they collaborated with digital design studio Uncanny.[3]
