This beginning of this track has an 60's era feel to it (old transistor radio). It starts with a lovey-dovey passage in the vein of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles, with just acoustic guitar and vocals. The hi-def quality kicks in with the full rock band and it transforms into a modern rock version of the passage. It has strong salsa and latin percussion, which gives it a slight Mexican sound. It will work well with heat/ fire, high-energy, dramatic, epic, speed and action-filled footage. Energetic guitars with a thumping bass line somewhere between pop and indie rock.

The lyrics in the verse talk about being original, one of a kind, and expressing the things that you need in a perfect relationship, i.e. "If you want to be lover darling... you've got to drop the expectations".
