The sound builders build a lush, mid-tempo environment, with melodic guitar plucks, traditional percussive shakers, and warm basslines. The song is underpinned by a steady highlife rhythm bounce, with soft elegance and sweet horn arrangements layered on top. Still, the percussive arrangement feels clean and airy, so their vocal harmonies lead with ease.
