Already Gone (Taylor Henderson song)

Taylor Henderson co-wrote "Already Gone" with Alex Hope and Louis Schoorl for his second studio album Burnt Letters. "Already Gone" was written in 45 minutes after Henderson could not return home because of a last-minute schedule change. The lyrics are about Henderson being torn "between living his musical dreams and pining for the simple way things used to be." ==Release and reception==

Henderson announced the single's release by uploading an audio teaser video to his Vevo account on 11 June 2014. "Already Gone" was then made available for digital download on 20 June 2014. Take 40 Australia described "Already Gone" as a "heartbreakingly bittersweet song", while Nova FM called it a "catchy tune" and believed it to be "one of those songs that really gets stuck in your head." Marcus Floyd from Renowned for Sound compared "Already Gone" to its predecessor "When You Were Mine", saying that the former "isn't as memorable, but it still has a nice stripped back feel and a chance for Henderson to show off that high range of his." Upon its release, "Already Gone" debuted and peaked at number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart issue dated 30 June 2014. However, after the release of its music video, "Already Gone" moved back up to number 45 in its third week. ==Promotion==

The music video was directed by Lawrence Lim and filmed on two days in June 2014. A behind-the-scenes clip of the shoot was first shown on Sunrise on 30 June 2014, and later uploaded to Henderson's Vevo account on 1 July 2014. It features scenes of Henderson in a recording studio working on the lyrics for "Already Gone" and scenes of him in his apartment putting photos of his family and friends on the wall. At the end of the video, Henderson arrives at his family home, while a collage of the photos on the wall is shown. The Riff (18 July 2014) and The Footy Show (24 July 2014). ==Track listing==
