In typical Sarantos fashion, it’s a blend of emotional authenticity and accessibility that appeals to anyone who has ever been swept away by the magic of romance.
Musically, the song leans into a soft-pop style with a dash of ‘80s-inspired balladry, a hallmark of Sarantos’ nostalgic yet fresh sound. The instrumentation is lush but restrained—a delicate mix of piano, acoustic guitar, and strings that create a warm, intimate atmosphere. The production is polished but avoids being overly glossy, allowing the vulnerability of Sarantos’ voice to take center stage. His vocals, slightly raw yet brimming with sincerity, deliver the lyrics with a heartfelt conviction that feels both personal and universal.
