A song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of love that overflow in the sleepless hours of the night.

It portrays a deep affection that needs no words to be understood, and a tenderness so strong you want to call your partner’s name over and over—feelings many will relate to.

The song is included on the single “GRIT,” released in May 2025.

It’s a love song brimming with happiness that reminds you of how precious your loved one is.
