Pop ballad with gentle swung piano, warm bass swells, and soft brushed drums; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus lifts with rising strings and layered harmony, chorus opens with fuller drums and sustained pads. Vocal is tender with breathy doubles, emotional harmony stacks, and delay throws on the last word of each hook line. Add reversed piano swells into the chorus and a subtle chime at phrase ends. Bright, polished, and expansive but still heartfelt.
