A pop-inspired song that leans into the idea of having a crush on your mind all the time.
The smooth underlying synth gives room for the vocals, drums, and stab synths to develop a nice rhythm throughout the track. The vocals convey the storyline and serve as the main source of melodic elements. The simple yet punchy drums keep the track moving forward, while the stab synths are introduced in each chorus to add more energy to the pop chorus.
“Can't help thinking about my love, like I'm 16 with a crush. For me, he's the only one."
The vocals and backing vocals remain subtle even with the increase in instrumentation per section, giving a more powerful meaning to the message of 'on my mind.' The theme of having a crush is something we've all experienced, but it's often something we'd never admit, hence the subtle vocals.
