I love it, there's a lot to unpack looking at the credits
The writers make it seem like it was a song that was panned for multiple artists and ended up with Coldplay
Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo have collaborated a lot with TINI on her latest album, either way, TINI didn't have a verse, that's weird
Shawn Carter is Jay Z? Is it a sample?
Michael Ilbert usually does the engineering, seeing him as a producer it's interesting
Davide Rossi usually does the strings arrangement, seeing him as a writer as well it's interesting too

Mm, not really feeling it at first listen.

Glad to see Elyanna at the credtis: her heritage is linked to Chile as her grandmother is Chilean.
