This subtle build-up allows for the impact to hit right where it needs to. The climax brings in layered drums and soaring background vocals that make the song feel huge and emotional. The production strikes a balance between softness and strength, matching the lyrics perfectly. Small touches, like the faint echo on her voice, give the track a dreamy quality. The use of crescendos helps create tension and release, keeping the listener pulled in.
