Echoes in the Party

[female vocal] [Intro] [Instrumental: Bouncy synth bass line establishes the chord progression. A bright, melodic steel drum synth plays the main hook. A clean Dancehall-inspired 2-step beat with finger snaps and shaker provides the foundation. Light atmospheric pads fill the space. Ends with a vocal chop sample: "Echo..."] (Music only) [Verse 1] [Beat simplifies to prominent finger snaps and shaker, with a soft kick. The melodic synth bass continues. Light, choppy reggae guitar chords stab in the background. Vocals are dry and intimate.] The bass is pumping, lights are low But all I see is your ghost in every glow I’m dancing solo in this crowded space Missing the forgiveness written on your face We used to move together, a perfect sync Now every beat without you just makes me think… [Pre-Chorus] [Energy builds: crisp hi-hats enter, kick drum becomes more consistent. Synth bass becomes more active, atmospheric pads swell. Steel drum synth re-enters subtly. Vocal layers increase.] That I messed up, I own the night I’m chasing highs, but feeling lows inside So let the drop wash over me tonight… ‘Cause… [Chorus] [Full, four-on-the-floor dance beat drops with strong kick and electronic claps. The main steel drum synth hook returns powerfully. Full, pulsing synth bass. Bright synth stabs accent the off-beats. Anthemic, reverberant vocal layers.] This is just another party song With a “sorry” buried in the thump-thump-thump I’m singing loud where I don’t belong Hoping the rhythm carries my “what I’ve done” Yeah, it’s just another party song But the lyrics are for you, woah-oh-oh I’m lost in the beat where I went wrong Can you hear my confession in the 808 drum? [Post-Chorus / Drop] [Beat remains full and energetic. Focus shifts to rhythmic vocal chops and the whistle melody. The steel drum hook may play in a simplified, rhythmic pattern.] (Hey!) Eh-oh! Eh-oh-oh-oh! (Just another party) Eh-oh! Eh-oh-oh-oh! (Can you hear it?) Eh-oh! Eh-oh-oh-oh! (My confession…) Eh-oh! [Verse 2] [Beat similar to Verse 1 but with added conga texture. A new counter-melody from a marimba-style synth is introduced. Reggae guitar continues. Vocals are more confident with background ad-libs.] Your name’s an echo with the synth’s refrain A bittersweet melody laced with pain I raise my hands up to the neon sky A silent “I was wrong” with every try The DJ’s spinning gold, the crowd’s in sync But my heart’s a skipping record on the brink… [Pre-Chorus] [Same build as the first Pre-Chorus, with the added marimba counter-melody woven in.] [Chorus] [Identical instrumentation to first Chorus, with the marimba line now present in the background for added texture.] [Post-Chorus / Drop] [Identical to the first Drop.] [Bridge] [Dramatic breakdown. Only shaker, a soft kick, and sparse conga hits remain. Warm, swelling pads dominate. A simple, held synth bass note underpins a slow, emotive steel drum melody. Vocals are vulnerable and dry.] And maybe in this space between the beats You’ll find the truth my stubborn heart conceals It’s more than just the bass, it’s my defeat… So let me say… [Outro] [Full beat returns briefly, then begins to deconstruct and fade. The steel drum hook and synth bass play the final loop. Vocals repeat the hook with increasing delay and reverb. The intro's vocal chop returns.] This is just another party… party song… (Echo…) With a sorry in the melody… (Echo…) Hoping you’re listening… Woah-oh-oh… (Fades out on the shaker and delay tail)
