Art-pop ballad with a slow 6/8 sway, delicate piano arpeggios, brushed percussion, and a rising string bed; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus opens with suspended chords and breathy doubles, chorus blooms in stacked harmonies with a short echo tail on key phrases, bridge drops to solo piano then returns with fuller strings. Close-mic female vocal, warm and aching, with subtle delay throws on the last words of each line and a glossy, emotional mix.
