Production-wise, I had the framework of the vocal in my head (verses, choruses, outro), and worked on it from that structure. I ran it through an amp and thought it sounded really cool, so I stuck with it. The falsetto singing over the drop came from a recording session I was doing alone to put together a demo-ish version. Just the main line though–harmonies didn’t come in until the recording process. Then came the vocals–first the chorus, then the verses. I tried a few variations on the chords, speed, and key before I ended up with the current version.

I was playing around with folk/country-sounding chords and it slowly developed into an idea that became the melody. I started with the chords and the melody–just on the piano. How did your creative process work for this track? So I worked on it mostly when that situation was applicable to me. It’s about transitioning, like saying goodbye to someone or a certain time of life, and being on both sides of that interaction. Writing this song took a long time–I had many past versions, and finally settled on these lyrics from a couple different options. The falsetto stuff came from messing around later. I wrote the song and lyrics first before producing it. Please tell us about the vocal – who’s the singer, and who wrote the lyrics? Thank you! It’s like a folk music vocal with a reggaeton beat, and then the beat drop is kind of like trap or bass music.
