Caught in the agonizing uncertainty of waiting for her love interest to take the first step to confess, Yafania is beyond frustrated—she’s angry. Eventually reaching her breaking point, she finally addresses the elephant in the room; “Am I really just another friend or am I the girl you’d call your own?” The track’s sound is deliciously infused with rock influences and layers—it would fit perfectly in a late-2000s coming-of-age movie—allowing Yafania’s vocal prowess to take center stage.
