The track sees Indira May embrace the joyous freedoms akin to music inspirited dance; as she moves to relinquish all fragments of stress associated with the spousal shackles discussed within her verses.
This track can be seen to be a modern interpretation of 70s burlesque music ; it draws on elements of jazz and soul to create a unique and refreshing sound. The tracks' careful utilisation of a foggy bass, finely dispersed kicks , an ever present piano loop and a symphony of percussion help to provide the modern details to otherwise thrownback foundations.
