"No Roots" is the breakthrough song by singer-songwriter Alice Merton who has four citizenships: Germany, Ireland, Canada, United Kingdom. The song became an international hit and brought her worldwide fame. The song is a mix of indie pop, rock and elements of alternative, making it a catchy yet refreshingly different track. "No Roots" addresses Merton's experiences of constantly moving and feeling like she's not really at home anywhere. The lines “I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground” express this feeling of being uprooted and not belonging, which goes back to her own childhood. She grew up in different countries due to her parents' profession.
