These bold lyrics describe the internal struggles the speaker goes through with changes in their behavior and attitude. From there, we're let in on the reason the speaker finds themself so vulnerable: her significant other.

These words empower you to feel bold and self-assured with a firm stand against gaslighting. Delicious and vindicating lyrics of revenge will captivate you with their clever phrasing and visceral imagery.
This track blends AYLA's throaty, intimate vocals with a dark dance pop sound full of swagger. Heavy percussion gives the tune a sound of invigorating power that infuses movement and progression throughout the bold lyrics. Low and rhythmic singing delivers the verses, with a tantalizing vocal expression. The pre-chorus brings a high-pitched and haunting build towards the jazzy piano and catchy chorus in the chorus. Taunting and titillating, this bold track uses talk-singing that will make you feel empowered, giving the lyrics a captivatingly creepy mood. A string interlude with soft vocals draws out the intensity in the track before delving back into the edgy and invigorating chorus. This freeing and fun dark pop song will make you want to dance.
