The single – the third release from her forthcoming EP – sees Akira navigating the delicate intersection of love and loss. The song’s celestial ambiance, underscored by tinkling synths and a sensuous guitar hook, captures the essence of Akira’s profound yearning and romantic nostalgia for a love that has faded into the past.
