Grey to Happy

Pop ballad with mid-tempo pulse, gentle syncopated drums, warm piano ostinato, and rising string pads; verse stays close and sparse, pre-chorus strips to piano and a heartbeat kick, chorus opens with layered harmonies and a clean synth lift. Lead vocal is intimate and cracked in verses, doubled on the hook with soft ad-libs and delay throws. Ear candy includes reversed piano swells into each chorus, a filtered riser before the bridge, and a final airy choir pad. Mix is polished, emotional, and bright at the top., happy
