Pop ballad with mid-tempo 6/8 sway, gentle kick and brushed snare, warm piano arpeggios, soft electric guitar swells, and strings rising into the chorus; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with layered harmonies and a filtered lift, chorus blooms with stacked doubles and wide backing oohs; ear candy includes reversed piano swells, a bell tone before the chorus, and a final string lift; mix is glossy, warm, and cinematic
