One of the brightest tracks the band has written, it infuses joyful feelings and lingering optimism into our veins.

This is easily a song that you want to turn up and blare as you have a good time.

While the melody is taking you on a ride through bright melodic currents, the vocals bring a touch of relaxation. They seem to ease the rough edges that we all have in our souls and replace the jagged remains with bright energy. When you hit the chorus, the vocals rise up with a catchy flow that you can’t help but sing along with. The good vibes of the track are woven around lyrics that touch on the affection you feel for someone who makes you happy by just being around. While there is this romantic edge to the lyrics, the overall feeling of the track is pure uplifting and positive vibes.
