On Twitter, Christina shared that “Maria” and its interlude “Looking for Maria” is a homage to the lost side of herself. “Searching For Maria” is a reference to one of my favorite films, The Sound of Music – in which the character of Maria, an irrepressible free spirit, struggles to find herself & her freedom. A sample of Michael Jackson’s track “Maria (You Were The Only One)” released on his 1972 LP, "Got To Be There".
