“RIVALRY (STILL HEateD)” marks an electrifying, nocturnal dancefloor pivot on the album. The track was born out of combining two of my separate free-verse poems, which I overhauled and merged while crafting the track's sound to place the listener directly inside a packed night (or day) club. While developing the production and vocal delivery, I wanted to tap into the energy Britney Spears captured on her 2007 hit “Gimme More”, one of pop music's most iconic club anthems. It was released right in the thick of intense personal and public scrutiny. Channelling that unapologetic, hypnotic defiance, “RIVALRY (STILL HEateD)” turns personal heartbreak and petty competition into pure main-character sovereignty under the strobe lights. It blends sharp pop sensibilities, bouncy rhythms, and razor-edged confidence; reclaiming my magnetism out of being in emotional confinement for so long to being seen.more

Rooted in late-night local geography and nocturnal wandering, the track balances feelings of exhaustion and claustrophobia against a sudden burst of clarity and self-possession. Driving on empty through city streets, overpasses, and river bridges, the narrator moves from wandering aimlessly to dropping the hammer. With “one headlight” cutting through the dark, the song transforms a precarious late-night drive into an act of reclaiming your own path and owning your redemption.more
