A song about following your path and not letting anyone barricade you, “Don’t Come Lookin’” is sure to strike a chord with the most passionate dreamers. “It’s that idea of getting off by yourself, that ‘If I don’t come back, don’t come lookin’ feeling of getting gone and not wanting anyone getting in your way,” shared Dean of the single. “I think everyone’s wanted that kind of escape or freedom. I figured it’d make a good song for anyone who’s ever been there.”
