Armstrong and bandmate Enzo wrote the song in 2019 before revisiting it this year with&nbsp;Stefan Babcock of PUP, who helped finish off the track. Says Armstrong about the track,<em>&nbsp;\u201cLyrically the song is about how I romanticise online relationships and the way in which I grew up more connected to technology than people. Most of it is sort of surreal and vague, but I think that it works well with the nature \/ vibe of the song. The name of the song is in reference to the character \u201cDavid Bowman\u201d from 2001 Space Odyssey. We had been using samples from the movie in a lot of our demos and we thought it would be funny to be literally connected to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Produced by Martin Cooke (Of Monsters And Men, Death Cab For Cutie, Destroy Boys, etc),&nbsp;\u2018Get Yourself A Friend\u2019&nbsp;will be Ultra Q\u2019s third EP release; their previous two,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail19.com\/t\/j-l-fkyktyk-ejlihlkhu-n\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In a Cave in a Video Game<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail19.com\/t\/j-l-fkyktyk-ejlihlkhu-p\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We\u2019re Starting To Get Along<\/a>, saw the band gain praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, NME, and Vice, in addition to leading to tours with The Regrettes, Hockey Dad, and Bad Suns.
