You’re putting in the effort to keep things going, but it’s clear the other person isn’t meeting you halfway." The track's upbeat energy provides an interesting contrast to the lyrical content, creating a sense of bittersweet nostalgia. This clever juxtaposition of sound and meaning is a recurring theme throughout the EP.

It's the kind of music that invites you to get lost in its lush textures and introspective lyrics.

Whether she's navigating the complexities of a fading relationship or reflecting on personal growth, her words resonate with a raw authenticity that's hard to ignore.
