The story

About this song

Dhillon built the beat from a wedding recording his uncle sent on WhatsApp, then played every synth line himself in one night.

Interpretation

What the song is about

On creative obsession and the sounds you cannot stop returning to.

Close listen

Craft and analysis

Built in 7/8 for the verse and 4/4 for the chorus, with the time change hidden behind the vocal.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Electric habit, midnight current
The dhol loop arrived on a voice note
I played it until the sun came up
Wedding sounds in Mohali air

[Chorus]
Seven-eight verse, four-four chorus
The time change hides behind the vocal
Every synth line played in one night
Creative obsession, total

[Verse 2]
My uncle sent it on WhatsApp
A wedding recording, cracked and clear
I built the beat from what he gave me
And played until the morning was near

[Chorus]
Seven-eight verse, four-four chorus
The time change hides behind the vocal
Every synth line played in one night
Creative obsession, total

[Bridge]
The sounds you cannot stop returning to
The loop that plays inside your head
Electric habit, midnight current
Until the sun comes up instead

[Chorus]
Seven-eight verse, four-four chorus
The time change hides behind the vocal
Every synth line played in one night
Creative obsession, total

[Outro]
Electric habit
Until the sun came up
