This is a yandere love song with a cool, jazz-infused, hard-hitting sound wrapped in a suspicious atmosphere.
It portrays a warped relationship where the balance of power keeps flipping as the narrator craves the other so intensely it could be called mad love, calling out their partner’s sloppiness while still wanting to keep them close—an obsession laid bare.
The rapidly shifting song structure feels like a projection of the changing emotions.
Created entirely by the artist Narumiya—who handles lyrics, composition, and more—this piece was released in September 2024.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who loves someone so much they don’t know what to do with themselves.
