“This track was enjoyable to make. It occurred between like 3 and 6 a.m. in Miami proper earlier than I needed to head to the airport,” EKKSTACY says. “Trippie and I wrote and recorded the lyrics over the music that my primary collaborator Mangetsu made again in Germany. We each got here up listening to Journey, so I’m comfortable we each get to say we’ve a track with him now.”
Talking on the visible, director Gilbert Trejo provides, “For this video, Stacy and I needed to play with the concept of success and happiness, how one doesn’t all the time include the opposite. What we would like vs. what we get, what’s anticipated of us vs. who we’re, and many others. As soon as we knew what we needed, it was enjoyable as hell to provide you with the sunny, comfortable, playful imagery for a track that may match on a playlist with Between the Bars or No Title #1.”
