Hailee Steinfeld, BloodPop® – Capital Letters

It’s a tropical dance-pop track with a chill summer vibe.

I thought about what kind of scene it could be used for, and since it doesn’t have a big build-up feel, I personally think it works well for an exit scene.

The tempo isn’t too fast—it’s just right! The lyrics are gentle, like they softly stay by your side when you’re feeling anxious.

In married life, everyone feels uncertain about the future.

Whenever you start something new, that feeling always comes—but the punchy dance beat blows it all away.
