Writing songs is the emotional outlet where I can be vulnerable to my own feelings and ideas. As a student, it sometimes feels like society has already set an invisible path for me to follow where my everyday is filled with lessons, homework, and studying — planning for “the future.” I’ve learned throughout the years to chase my own passions and seek to excel at what I love to do the most. However, there is a little voice from within that urges me to explore more hobbies and career opportunities. The aspect of limited time versus the desire to take time to explore more fields and challenge myself is what sparked me to write this song.

For me, the genre of RnB music always initially sounds mellow to me but also I started to notice that it also expresses emotions of sadness and frustration. This is why, experimenting with RnB music, I wanted to create a sense of longing and frustration through the song. Using references such as Peter Pan’s lost boys illustrates a desire to never grow old and to continue exploring the world in front of me with a sense of childish wonders. I also referenced spider webs to metaphorically express the web of society that straps me onto a path as I grow older.
