While I didn't write the lyrics, I composed and produced the entire instrumental for this track. It was a fantastic learning experience, marking my first-ever cover song. The project actually began as a slow, somewhat dull arrangement, but everything shifted the moment I introduced the drums. That rhythmic energy completely transformed the vibe into something vibrant and upbeat, and from that point on, the "magic" really took over and guided the rest of the production.

One of the most challenging aspects of this project was achieving a competitive mastering loudness in Ableton, which is a skill I’m still refining. I found that sidechaining the vocals to the instrumental was a game-changer, allowing the voice to cut through the mix with much more clarity. This is a song I've always loved, so I decided to take a "why not" approach and see what I could create; through that process, I gained a ton of experience with vocal chopping, precision timing, and the power of layering to build a professional, full-bodied sound.

I posted this cover song to instagram and people seem to like it.
