Set against a backdrop of thunderous drums, emotional piano, and stadium-sized production, the track builds through introspective verses into explosive, chant-worthy choruses. With lyrics that speak to unspoken love and the pain of letting someone walk away, this anthem captures the universal experience of being seen—truly seen—and still hesitating.
