Dark pop ballad with female vocals, slow pulsing half-time groove, sparse piano and low synth bed in verses, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and filtered toms, chorus lands on a big sustained hook with doubled lead and airy backing harmonies. Bridge strips to voice and room tone, then final chorus returns with ghostly choir pads, reversed swells, and a sharp sub hit on the last turn. Intimate close-mic verses, wide emotional mix, glossy and aching.
