This melodic house track, leaning into afro house grooves, layers in Afro percussion elements, warm melodic synth lines, and a fresh male vocal take. It fits right into Tommy Veanud‘s lineup of club-ready cuts, balancing raw emotional hooks with steady rhythms that build for dancefloors and big festival stages.
Tommy Veanud had this to say: “The song you want to dance barefoot to in the summer rain, the one that makes you fall in love, dream deeply, notice every bright spot in each day, and look ahead to the future with hope and faith.“
