Pop ballad with a cold, wide mix that keeps the close-mic vocal human, soft delay throws on key lines, and phone-message intimacy. Slow marching pulse; breathy male lead with doubles, occasional whispered ad-libs, and rough stacked harmony on the hook. Sparse, intimate piano-arpeggio verses open into rising low strings and breathy pre-chorus doubles, then a bigger chorus over restrained drums and a subtle heartbeat-like kick.
