Alternative rock with a driving mid-tempo groove and punchy toms; verse rides a tight, clipped guitar pattern under a steady bass pulse, pre-chorus opens with rising snare fills and a sudden vocal lift, chorus hits with wide distorted guitars and gang vocal shouts on the anchor phrase. Lead vocal stays close-mic and dry in verses, doubles thicken the hook, with a short cymbal swell and reverse guitar wash into each chorus. Bright, gritty mix with a warm low end and sharp, forward drums.
