This track delves into the universal human experience of searching for one's identity, and feeling a loss or lack of self. The title itself, with its clever play on the idea that we are all unique yet reduced to numbers, perfectly encapsulates the song's essence.
The use of a pickup line to express the desperation that can come with trying to find one's identity in someone else adds a layer of vulnerability and relatability to the track. The band's frontman, Mark McKenna, delivers a passionate vocal performance, and the music is a blend of bright acoustics and vulnerable lyrics, creating a compelling contrast.

The comparisons to the typical 'New York' feeling add an intriguing layer to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has ever felt that a place can profoundly affect their sense of self. "London" is a beautifully crafted piece that leaves the listener pondering the ever-evolving nature of identity.
In summary, Milk.'s "London" and "I Think I Lost My Number Can I Have Yours?" are two singles that delve into the deep complexities of human identity. Both songs are masterfully produced and showcase the band's knack for creating emotionally resonant music.
