This also indicates that Somewhere In The Night was pitch-edited, as confirmed by the fact that in the discovered mix, the track directly before SITN, Something by Lava, was sped up by 15 BPM and pitched F# major, instead of the original E♭ major key.[3]
It's unclear when or how it was discovered, but searchers on Discord eventually connected the snippet to a YouTube channel called NeonBlue80. NeonBlue was accused of knowing the song and artist and purposefully hiding it from searchers, but in a later comment, he clarified that he simply doesn't remember the song title and does not care about the search.[4] NeonBlue claims that he got the song from a blog, possibly KISSMAR, HardRockAORHeaven (CamelBlue) or Polix Soundtrack.[5]

Lyrics
| Presumed Lyrics |
| You know I’ve seen that look before
Inside, you're all alone Looking for the perfect one Has left you on your own You think you're running out of time The time is on your side Just when you think it's out of reach It's right before your eyes Somewhere in the night Love's gonna find you You won't have to cry another tear You don't have to try so hard this time, girl |
