Notes: The song features a slow-building tempo with rhythmic guitar punctuation and a swelling torch-song chorus, creating a lolloping, weary swagger that evokes late-night haze without harsh abrasiveness. Subtle shifts from verse restraint to explosive double-time passages add emotional pull but remain grounded in smooth production.
