Pop soul with a midtempo sway, luminous melancholy and hopeful lift; verse starts intimate with piano and brushed drums, pre-chorus opens into warm strings and rising harmony stacks, chorus lands with fuller bass and gospel-tinged backing vocals.

Mix should feel warm, polished, and close to the heart., soul
