In true Nate08 fashion, this song begins with some beautiful pads before an urban punchy beat couples up with the vocals. Instantly the song is grooving, the lyrics flow through and are as tight as could be. The hook is one that you can't get out of your head and the delivery into the chorus is seamless, keeping the flow and chilled out vibe. The production with pads and layers pumping throughout is what we expect, without overpowering each other and the Nate08 hook sounds huge as he doubles and shifts it. An urban masterpiece blending a range of instruments and techniques make this song a summer groove fit for parties and late night drives alike
