Her vocal performance is incredible. Every run and scale is perfect and fits beautifully with the song. The instrumentation works its way in too such a high standard. Nobody tires to out maneuver another. They all fit in so nicely. – Emanuel

The lyrics are so well written and seem to just blend in effortlessly with the half trap beat underneath. The spoken vocals help carry the songs topic and just bring you in. You can’t help but smile and love the song. – Emanuel
