Knock at the Gate

Pop-rock with a brisk midtempo groove, tight palm-muted guitar chugs, bouncy bass, and steady four-on-the-floor drums; verse keeps it conversational and sparse, pre-chorus builds with handclaps and rising harmonies, chorus opens wide with stacked doubles and a chantable hook. Short delay throws on the last word of each hook line, a quick snare lift into every chorus, and a bright, punchy mix with clean vocal upfront.
