It emerged during a chaotic time—moving apartments, starting my last university year, and working solo on my debut project. I was constantly wondering what the future would hold. As a music artist, the journey can be lonely and volatile, with no guarantees. You give 110% effort for an uncertain outcome. But High Speed reminded me why I make music—not for numbers or statistics, but to express myself through the medium I know best. Amidst the chaos, it became a reflection on a painful past relationship. Ironically, despite its name, High Speed reminds me to live in the moment and prioritise myself.”
