Kraftwerk wrote this song about people looking for romance through their computers at a time in which computers were these awkward, uncommunicative, and impersonal pieces of machinery, thereby accurately predicting the present day in which computers are often a gateway for people to date, and also for lonelier people "looking for love" to stay in social contact with others on their computers while not being social outside of their "Computer World".
Kraftwerk (German pronunciation: [ˈkʀaftvɛɐk], "power station") are a German electronic music band formed by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in 1970 in Düsseldorf, and was fronted by them until Schneider's departure in 2008. The signature Kraftwerk sound combines driving, repetitive rhythms with catchy melodies, mainly following a Western Classical style of harmony, with a minimalistic and strictly electronic instrumentation. The group's simplified lyrics are at times sung through a vocoder or generated by computer-speech software. Kraftwerk were one of the first groups to popularize electronic music and are considered pioneers in the field.
