Where My Heart Is

Album: Cosmicoma (2021)

Songfacts®:

  • Born and raised in Toronto, Betty Moon moved to Los Angeles in 2010, where got to enjoy beaches like Paradise Cove in Malibu. In the first verse, she sings:

    Have you ever been to Paradise Cove?
    On the edge of the golden coast
    Nice cars and fancy clothes
    Yeah it's real nice but its not home


    Later, she sings about more travels, but concludes that none of these places are home, as home is where her heart it.
  • Moon said of this song: "I wanted to write something a bit more stripped-down and rooted with an acoustic. 'Where My Heart Is' is one of the closers on Cosmicoma and brings a bit of a 'piece de resistance' to an album packed full of energy, memorable guitar riffs and loaded as usual with Betty Moon attitude. I took things in a bit more of a rock direction on this album so this track tones things down a bit, while also still telling true tales from my life experience."
