Alt-pop with driving mid-tempo pulse, syncopated kick-snare groove, and a moody bass line; verse stays sparse with close-mic lead and finger snaps, pre-chorus opens with rising synth haze and layered harmonies, chorus lands wider with stacked doubles and a chantable anchor. Add reverse swells into each lift, a bell hit before the hook, and short delay throws on the last word. Bright-but-dark glossy mix, intimate and punchy.
