Jumping in with the steady pulse of kick tones, miufly’s airy voice glides above the gentle shimmer of silky textures, layering up her vocals as the quiet rumble of percussion rises and drops out to leave moments of drifting instrumental elements and enchanting vocals.

Building on her compelling sound while offering something new, it’s a charming sound that deftly balances darkness with brightness to craft an engaging sound from start to finish.

Commenting on the single, she shares, “I wanted to do something that emotionally contrasted my previous release, and embraced the uncomfortable. This song is about being okay with having no idea what’s happening 95% of the time, and just going with it. It’s a bit more edgy, a bit sexy, and I hope listeners get lost in the atmosphere.”
