Moody dark-pop score with male vocals, brooding piano and distant clock ticks at the top, then low grooving drums and pulsing bass enter on the first chorus. Verses stay smoky and close-mic’d with subtle string swells; choruses open wider with stacked harmonies and eerie synth pads. Bridge strips to piano and whispered doubles, then a final, heavier chorus with saturated drums and echoing vocal ad-libs.
