This was the first song I've ever recorded, and being comfortable singing was a challenge I had to overcome to make this song. At this point in my life, I was focused on spending time with my friends and making memories that would inspire my music. I did all the production myself, mixed and mastered it myself, and had a couple friends shoot the visualizer in the neighborhood, as I wanted the mood of the song to be reflected in the video. My goal for this song was to create a song that felt nostalgic, like a flashback to a fond memory with your friends from years ago. I also reflected this feeling in the video, as the video has a DIY feel, the shakey shots, the inconsistent lighting, all to make it feel like future nostalgic little moments being captured on video to document the time you spend with people you care about.

Creativity is expressing a message that is true to you through art, without censoring your work due to fear of criticism, negative feedback, or failure.
