Acoustic pop ballad with gentle 72 BPM pulse, soft fingerpicked guitar, warm piano, and restrained brushed percussion; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with layered harmonies and a rising pad, chorus blooms with wide backing vocals and a simple singback hook. Add a small string swell into each chorus, a reversed piano tail before the lift, and a tender, bright mix with emotional front-and-center vocals.
