Lyrics
[Verse 1]
flashed neon nights, we were kings with cassette dreams
airbrushed posters lining the walls of our schemes
pager buzzin', hearts buzzin' to that MPC beat
denim jackets, boy bands swayin'
[Pre-Chorus]
We held it close
Like it might last
Backseat promises
Gone too fast
[Chorus]
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
We were young and made-believe
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
Still got your name on that sleeve
Oh, we were fire, we were free
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
[Verse 2]
Mall food court dates and a stolen first kiss
Polaroid grin in a half-torn fist
You said "stay here," I said "watch me"
Now every old song drags you back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
We held it close
Like it might last
Backseat promises
Gone too fast
[Chorus]
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
We were young and made-believe
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
Still got your name on that sleeve
Oh, we were fire, we were free
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
[Bridge]
Tape got tangled, summer burned out
But I still hear us when I drive around
One rewind, and I'm fifteen again
In your borrowed hoodie, in the rain
[Chorus]
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
We were young and made-believe
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams
Still got your name on that sleeve
Oh, we were fire, we were free
Cassette dreams, cassette dreams

Style
Pop-rap with nostalgic boom-bap swing and a midtempo bounce; verse rides sparse drums, cassette hiss, and chopped keyboard stabs; pre-chorus lifts with filtered backing chants and a snare build; chorus hits with stacked lead vocals, handclaps, and a wide singback hook. Breathy close-mic verses, doubled chorus lines, tiny tape-stop fills, reverse swells into sections, bright punchy mix with warm dusty edges.
