Usher is writing a musical called A Strange Loop. Jackson describes the meta nature of "Today" best on Genius: "'Today' was an early song that was written to be as much of an 'I want' song as made sense within the structure of the show. And the many questions that are asked (and not answered) in the song, one right after the other - "How many minutes 'til the end of intermission? Is that how the show should open? Should there even be a show?" - echo "I Hope I Get It," the opening of A Chorus Line where the auditioners sing questions like "How many people does he need? How many boys, how many girls? Who am I anyway? Am I just my resume?" without getting answers. "Intermission Song" opens with the various Thoughts calling Usher's name in a way that sounds like the characters who call out "Bobby! Bobby! Bobby baby, Bobby bubby!" in the opening song of Company. Parts of the song echo classic musical theatre tunes of the past. While working, his thoughts wander to the musical he's trying to write, and to his self-doubt that he'll be able to succeed in the industry as a fat, Black, queer man. It does take place, however, at the intermission of The Lion King on Broadway, where the lead character Usher works as (you guessed it) an usher. No, intermission song doesn't take place before or during intermission, or at least not during the intermission of A Strange Loop (which doesn't have one anyway).
