The final touches of mixing and mastering were expertly handled by her long-time collaborator, Aaron Hellam.

Her lyrics are a candid reflection of her inner self, touching upon personal flaws and vulnerabilities in a way that is both introspective and relatable.

She attributes many of her best songs and ideas to dreams and meditation, a notion that is encapsulated in the title of her upcoming album, “I’ll Meet You In Dreams.” Her intuitive understanding of her surroundings and the emotions of those around her is poetically conveyed in the chorus of the single.
The song’s bridge is a lyrical dance of uncertainty and euphoria that encapsulates the essence of falling in love, ending with a thought-provoking question that invites listeners to find their own interpretation.In anticipation of her sophomore album, Chelsea King has been meticulously refining her sound over the past year. Her brief hiatus from social media has only intensified the excitement among her fanbase for new music.
