Midnight Red is: Joey Diggs Jr., 21, from Los Angeles, CA, who says his father, a singer who is best known as the voice behind Coca-Cola’s “Always” campaign jingle, taught him everything he knows. “I’m ready to show the world what it means to chase a dream and work hard to make that dream become reality,” he says. Thomas Augusto, 19, from Arlington, TX, was called the “little entertainer” by his family as a kid because “my parents could never shut me up,” he says. A fan of Beyonce, Radiohead, and No Doubt, Thomas has spent years dreaming about being on a huge stage doing what he loves to do. “There were always pyrotechnics in my daydreams,” he says. The baby of the group, Anthony Ladao, 18, from Seattle, WA, has been singing since the age of 12 and dancing since the age of 6. Seeing Usher perform at the MTV Video Music Awards first sparked his interest in dance and “from there it became my passion,” he says. Colton Rudloff, 22, from Buffalo, NY, was selected as Midnight Red’s fifth member after being discovered through videos he had posted on YouTube. A huge fan of American Idol, Colton credits the show for exposing him to many different genres of music. “I lean toward artists who have a passion for pure singing,” he says. “There’s no need for all the smoke and mirrors if you have a great voice.” Finally, Eric Secharia, 19, from Burbank, CA, describes himself as a “hipster” whom you’ll never catch not smiling. Eric, who has been singing since age 6, and dancing since age 12, plays guitar and ukulele, and cites Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson as his main musical influences. “They are two people who truly stood out as performers that mastered their craft and used it to change the world,” he says.
Midnight Red formed in 2009 through the efforts of veteran A&R executive, and Kings of LA label founder, Pete Farmer and super producer RedOne, who brought the group to Interscope Records. What’s up for the group in 2011? “World domination,” jokes Thomas. “No biggie.”

Where Did U Go?
Midnight Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my dream's about to end
You're in the dark, I know where you are
But you're underneath my skin
The way you dance real low, make me follow you slow
The way you hold so tight like you need the light
But when the music stops and you let me drop
You turn me on then you're turning me down
Got me screaming out for more
Where did U go?
Now you can say that you don't want me
Your fingerprints all over my heart
No you can't take it back that easy
So finish up what you start
Where did U go?
You wanna steal my love and leave me
You're wondering where you are in the dark
No you can't take it back that easy
So finish up what you start
Where did U go?
Can't get no sleep, you're stuck in my head
I can still feel how you breathe
You got me caught up in your web
And I don't want to escape
'Cause when you move real slow makes me wanna know
The way you hold so tight when we dance on the floor
And when the music stops and you let me drop
Girl it's like nothing that I felt before
You turn me on then you're turning me down
Got me screaming out for more
Where did U go?
Now you can say that you don't want me
Your fingerprints all over my heart
No you can't take it back that easy
So finish up what you start
Where did U go?
You wanna steal my love and leave me
You're wondering where you are in the dark
No you can't take it back that easy
So finish up what you start
Where did U go?
I can't stop wanting you
The plot you put me through
You turn me on then you're turning me down
Got me screaming out for more
Where did U go?
Now you can say that you don't want me
Your fingerprints all over my heart
No you can't take it back that easy
So finish up what you start
Where did U go?
You wanna steal my love and leave me
You're wondering where you are in the dark
No you can't take it back that easy
So finish up what you start
Where did U go?
The song "Where Did U Go?" by Midnight Red is a pop-dance track that explores the tumultuous feelings of a man who has fallen deeply in love with a woman who seems to be playing games with his emotions. The song begins by setting up the gender dynamics between the two characters, with the singer as a boy and the love interest as a girl. The singer is clearly smitten with the girl and sings about how she is "underneath [his] skin." However, despite his strong feelings for her, he knows that their time together is limited and that his dream (presumably of a more permanent relationship) is about to end.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "Where did U go?" and "Finish up what you start," suggests that the singer feels like his love interest is toying with him, and he wants her to make a decision about their relationship. The bridge of the song delves deeper into his feelings of frustration and confusion, with the singer admitting that he is caught up in the woman's "web" and can't stop thinking about her despite the fact that she seems to be pushing him away.
Ultimately, the song is about the highs and lows of falling in love with someone who isn't sure if they want the same things that you do. It's a deeply emotional track that showcases Midnight Red's ability to blend electronic beats with heartfelt lyrics.
