“The whole idea for the track was quite literally the product of getting caught up in my head while walking home one evening after a night out - the whirring of emotions, feeling conflicted about such a spontaneous time, attached one moment and regretful the next - so many thoughts that just needed answers or an out,” Ko details.

Ko reveals a new, more intimate side of herself with this release while still making you want to get up and dance with the infectious electric guitar and melodic vocals. “My cheeks red like a cherry,” Ko Chants over the beat of the song and the guitar that are in perfect unison with the lyrics. “Help me because I am very lovesick in public.” Grunts and moans can be heard over the bridge, insinuating she is sick from a long night out.

Ko amassed over 1 million views on her Tik Tok and her Instagram Reels promoting this song, and over 3 thousand pre-saves. This release is an ode to how quickly she rose in popularity among thousands of fans, and she has us sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to see what she does next.
