The intro is visibly unique as the purposeful guitar melodies create such a delightful tone, providing an ideal backdrop that attractively complements Jillian’s sultry, soulful, and inviting lead vocals.
The song is allowed to build sufficiently with the guitar-laden foundation backed by the earwormingly rich vocals by Skye taking center stage up until the 1:23 mark, where some deep, bass-fueled pop beats are unleashed, their lively cadence perfectly matched by the Jillian’s sparkling bright spotlight-stealing vocal performance.
