What is the story behind the song Something Just Like This?
The song shows one's insecurity of not being someone who is as extraordinary as the heroes like Superman, Batman or the brave Hercules. However, his beloved is not looking for 'somebody with some superhuman gifts' rather she wants a very ordinary love where she can 'miss' the person she loves.
