Scared to Tell You

Pop ballad with a slow 72 BPM pulse, gentle piano arpeggios and soft kick accents; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus lifts with strings and rising harmonies, chorus opens into warm stacked vocals and a steady drum swell, bridge strips back to piano and breathy lead before the final chorus blooms. Lead vocal is close-mic and emotional with doubled choruses, subtle delay throws on key lines, and tender backing vocal echoes; reversed piano swells, brushed cymbal lifts, and a final string rise add glow. Bright, polished, and lush in the mix.
