A spirited drum groove sets the song off. Piano chords soon follow, topped by the vocals: “Goddamn, another one on a hill that needs so much attention / He really thinks I care what he says and I’m dying to listen.” Emeryld’s warm tone brings this song to life. Even a perfect song needs the right singer to make it stand out–and she’s just that. Bass acrobatically buzzes beneath the verse, setting the foundation for the coming chorus. Harmonies suddenly burst forth from the mix, gliding seamlessly alongside the infectious pre-chorus and chorus melodies. A certain amount of repetition solidifies the memorability of the phrases. Everything about the production makes the writing pop–like shimmery synths and emphatic drum fills. It’s an effective chorus within a gloriously effective song.
