I still remember the night I started building the track.
It was 2:14 AM. One of those restless nights where sleep feels miles away, but emotion sits just beneath the skin — itching to become something real.
I had this feeling stuck in my chest. Not sadness. Not joy. Something in between. That aching kind of wanting — for connection, for closeness. For someone.
I opened a blank project, tapped out a slow, pulsing drumbeat — like a heartbeat amplified. Then I laid down some warm chords, like sunlight through curtains. It felt tender. Hopeful. Like waking up next to someone you love for the first time and realizing, “This is it.”
That’s when the line came:
“Needed me, like the sun needs somebody to dance.”
It made no sense at first. But it felt right. That was the rule for this one — no overthinking. Only feeling.
I looped it, added more textures, shaped the bass to breathe beneath the words like longing. Then I layered in the hook, almost like a whisper at first:
“I wanna know you… I wanna show you…”
It wasn’t a love song in the typical sense. It was before the love. That moment when you’re just overflowing with emotion — not knowing where to put it, but knowing it’s meant for someone. That urge to connect. That need to be seen. To give something honest.
By the time I finished, I didn’t feel alone anymore.
The song had become a conversation I hadn't yet had.
It was raw. Real. And maybe that’s why people resonate with it.
Because everyone, deep down, just wants someone to say:
“Let me know where you wanna go… I’ll go with you.”
And that’s what this song became —
not just a track,
but a heartbeat shared.
