Arabic afro beat with swung hand drums, tight syncopated percussion, and a bouncing bass pulse; verse rides sparse darbuka taps and claps, pre-chorus strips to hand percussion and a rising chant, chorus hits with layered drums, a warm synth bass, and call-and-response ad-libs. Lead vocal stays close-mic and intimate, with doubled hook lines, short delay throws, and gang echoes on key words. Frame-drum fills, reversed swell transitions, and finger cymbal flashes lift each section. Bright, percussive, and glossy with a warm low end.
