Although Rooney had flirted with enlisting Ric Ocasek to produce, they eventually opted to rehire Keith Forsey, the producer responsible for the the strong batch of demos that had gotten them signed in the first place. Rooney's sunny, self-titled debut arrived in 2003 and its sales spiked considerably the following year when the band appeared on Fox's popular teen drama The O.C. (the first in a long line of bands to do so). Later that year, the concert DVD Spit and Sweat was released, highlighting the group's transformation from teenage musicians into a road-seasoned outfit. Rooney began recording their follow-up later that year with producer Tony Hoffer, but the album was eventually scrapped despite several songs being posted on the band's MySpace page. A second attempt to record their sophomore album was made in fall 2005, this time with Howard Benson in the producer's seat. Although it was slated for a 2006 release, this version too was scrapped as friction between the band and its label increased.
Following a 2006 tour with Kelly Clarkson, Rooney returned to the studio with producer John Fields for a third -- and successful -- attempt at recording their second album. The slightly darker, but no less catchy Calling the World was released in summer 2007 and debuted on the Billboard charts at number 42. By this point, though, the band's relationship with Geffen had suffered too much damage and Rooney eventually left the label's roster in 2009. That same year, the band celebrated their independent status by self-releasing an EP, Wild One, and launching a brief tour. They didn't remain independent for long, though, eventually partnering with Warner Bros. for the release of their third full-length album, the self-produced Eureka, in June 2010. Although bassist Matt Winter played on the record, he left the band's lineup several months before its release, with Brandon Schwartzel climbing aboard in his place. By the end of 2011, support for the record had mostly ceased and Rooney essentially entered into a lengthy hiatus. Schwartzman remained busy with a number of projects, including two solo records and a pair of film scores. Following years of silence regarding his band's fate, Schwartzman revealed in early 2016 that he had completed a new Rooney album entirely on his own. Released in May 2016, Washed Away was the fourth LP under the Rooney banner, and was supported on the road by a completely retooled lineup. In June 2017, the band issued the single "Second Chances" in anticipation of the release of the El Cortez EP, which arrived in July of that year.
When Did Your Heart Go Missing?

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This doesn't have to end in tragedy
I have you and you have me
We're one and a million
Why can't you see?
I'm waitin', waitin' for nothin'
You're leavin', leavin' me hangin'
When did your heart go missin'?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missin'?
When did your heart go missin'?
Yeah
I meant every word I said
I never was lyin' when we talked in bed
I'm retracin' every step in my head
What did I miss back then?
I was so, so misled
I'm waitin', waitin' for nothin'
You're leavin', leavin' me hangin'
When did your heart go missin'?
When did your heart go missin'?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missin'?
When did your heart go missin'?
I don't understand
How could you forget what we had?
It's so wrong
I'm waitin', waitin' for nothin'
You're leavin', leavin' me hangin'
When did your heart go missin'?
When did your heart go missin'?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missin'?
When did your heart go missin'?
Things were so good
We had a little dream
A little dream together
Buy a house, settle down, do our thing
But you disappeared on me
And your heart, your heart went missin'
I don't know how to find it, I don't know where it is
I don't know where your heart went
It was here just the other day
Now it's gone
I'm gonna call the police
Call the investigator, the heart investigator
The song "When Did Your Heart Go Missing" by Rooney is about heartbreak and confusion in a failing relationship. The first verse laments how love doesn't come easily and how they don't want the relationship to end in tragedy. The chorus is a plea to the other person to understand what has happened, and how their heart seems to have gone missing. The second verse is particularly emotional, as the singer talks about the promises made in bed and how they feel misled. The bridge again asks when their heart went missing and declares confusion over how the other person could forget everything they had.
Overall, the song seems to be about the pain of a relationship breaking down, and the singer's frustration at not understanding why. They have given their all to the relationship and it has still failed, leaving them lost and confused.
