Stage Lights On

[Verse 1]
You walk in slow
Spot hits your face just right
Lip gloss
Little gold chain glow
You own the night
I’m tuned in
To the way your shoulders sway
You laugh
Then you look my way
And my words get thin
[Chorus]
Stage lights on
But it’s you I see
Whole crowd gone
It’s just you and me
Every color on the ceiling falls on your skin
Stage lights on
And I’m falling in
Stage lights on
And I’m leaning in (come close)
Stage lights on
Let the show begin
[Verse 2]
You two-step
Sneakers squeak on the floor
I’m sideline
Trying to catch my breath
You want more
That half-smile
Says “why you over there?”
You crook a finger in the air
Pull me into your fire
[Chorus]
Stage lights on
But it’s you I see
Whole crowd gone
It’s just you and me
Every color on the ceiling falls on your skin
Stage lights on
And I’m falling in
Stage lights on
And I’m leaning in (oh yeah)
Stage lights on
Let the show begin
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to Rhodes and vocal]
You say
“Relax
I got you”
Hand on my neck
I lock in
World fades out of the frame
It’s just your breath on my skin
If this is just the first song
How deep can this night go?
You whisper “stay right here”
And I already know
[Chorus]
Stage lights on
But it’s you I see
Whole crowd gone
It’s just you and me
Every color on the ceiling falls on your skin
Stage lights on
And I’m falling in
Stage lights on
And I’m leaning in (so close)
Stage lights on
Let the show begin

Silky mid-tempo R&B groove with male vocals, warm Rhodes and soft synth pads, tight rimshot groove and deep sub bass; verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, then chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, airy reverb, and a subtle choir pad; bridge strips to keys and vocal runs before a final, ad-lib-heavy hook outro, r&b
