Bear Gallagher-Cole has also stated that "Missing Person" and "Ghost Heart", two releases that will be coming out soon, will give his audience a taste of what to expect in the near future. He has said that he plans on taking what he did at 1st Drop Music and expanding upon it. “I want to take what we started at 1st Drop Music and bring it into a whole new realm. I want to explode the boundaries of genre, and provide a deep catalog of music for music fans of all different kinds of music.” added Bear Gallagher-Cole. “This song and Ghost Heart which I am releasing together on St. Patrick’s Day 2024 give a small glimpse into the vision. Bringing my love for Hip-Hop, Alternative Rock, Goth, Country, Folk, Electronic, and Dark Rap into a 2 part package.”

Bear Gallagher-Cole wrote "Missing Person" based on relationships he observed in his own life. “I took experiences I saw with family and friends in relationships and try to write through their eyes. I used to be a bit too literal and personal in my songwriting so I have been working on getting out of my bubble, and writing music that is more universal.” The lyrics of "Missing Person" convey the pain of waiting for a message, begging for a phone call, and desperately holding onto a glimmer of hope that the relationship can still be saved. The melodic production of Cole and the excellent storytelling skills of Astronot create an atmosphere that allows the listener to become fully immersed in the sadness of the story. "Missing Person" is proof that Bear Cole and Bear the Astronot are capable of creating incredible music that transcends genres. “It’s all about writing songs, expressing and connecting emotionally with the listener.” said Bear Cole when asked about his new song.
