2:53·140 bpm·F·2 versions
Hip Hop, PopDark, Emotional, Heartfelt

A moody urban pop song built on a programmed beat, low bass, synth pads and clean electric guitar, topped by a lead male vocal. At 140 BPM in major-key F it is the least minor-leaning cut here, pairing a driving pulse with introspective, regretful lyrics about letting go. Suits reflective lifestyle footage and late-night city sequences that need forward motion under the sadness.

3:12·125 bpm·Am·2 versions
Hip Hop, PopDark, Emotional, Heartfelt

Mid-tempo urban pop in A minor with a steady beat, sub bass, synth textures and guitar lines behind a heartfelt male vocal. At 125 BPM and just over three minutes it is the most relationship-focused of the set, sitting in a resigned, bruised register rather than an angry one. Works for break-up conversations, downcast character walks and moody documentary interstitials.

2:11·104 bpm·Bm·2 versions
Hip Hop, PopDark, Emotional, Heartfelt

The album's title cut and its shortest, most compact statement: 104 BPM in B minor with a slow-rolling beat, bass, synth and guitar under a confessional male vocal about buried secrets. The relaxed tempo makes it the darkest and most spacious track here. Good for a two-minute edit, a trailer-adjacent mood cue or a scene of someone facing something they hid.

Running

3:38·150 bpm·Bm·2 versions
Hip Hop, PopBreaking Up, Break Up, Dark

The fastest and longest song on the album at 150 BPM in B minor, with an urgent beat, bass, synths and electric guitar carrying an emotional male lead. Explicitly a break-up song, its speed gives escape and flight rather than wallowing. Suits chase-adjacent montages, running or training footage cut with heartbreak, and restless travel sequences.

3:36·135 bpm·Dm·2 versions
Hip Hop, PopBreaking Up, Break Up, Dark

A 135 BPM D minor urban pop song with beat, bass, synth beds and guitar supporting a heartfelt male vocal about clinging to a failing relationship. It sits between the album's slow confessionals and its faster escape tracks, sustaining tension across three and a half minutes. Fits arguments and reconciliations, moody driving footage and season-arc relationship recaps.
