"Look the Other Way" is an original composition by Canadian jazz vocalist and songwriter Caity Gyorgy, included on her album Featuring, released in 2022 on La Reserve Records. The album was conceived as a dream project in which Gyorgy wrote original tunes and paired each one with a guest soloist chosen for both musical compatibility and personal connection. On this track, the featured soloists are tenor saxophonist Lucas Dubovik and bassist Thomas Hainbuch, whose contributions give the piece a distinctive textural character that sets it apart from the more horn- or piano-driven arrangements elsewhere on the record. The bass solo in particular reflects Gyorgy's interest in highlighting instruments that do not always receive prominent solo space in vocal jazz settings. Lyrically, the title suggests themes of avoidance or willful blindness, a subject Gyorgy treats with the wit and emotional directness that characterize her songwriting throughout the album. Her compositional style draws on the melodic and harmonic vocabulary of the Great American Songbook and bebop eras while maintaining a contemporary lyrical perspective. Featuring earned Gyorgy a JUNO Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year and established her as one of the leading voices in the Canadian jazz scene. "Look the Other Way" contributes to the album's variety by foregrounding the rhythm section in the solo spotlight.
