I would set the world on fire if it meant I got to watch you burn.

I am beyond happy with how this song came out omg!! I revisited this song back in March using a creative writing piece I wrote as kind of a basis for the lyrics. As I kept working on it, I realized that I needed Apollo to be featured on this song. And I am so, so happy that he was down to work with me!! He is one of my closest chums and I am so glad that I finally got to collaborate with him after all this time. He did such an amazing job on the vocals 😭. Jinx and Snoww did an amazing job with the art and Friend did such an amazing job with the MV!! It all came out so good and I’m so happy!!

This song is a bit of a sequel to Higabana Milk Tea; HMT and this song are about the same subject (reflecting on past abuse), but from two different perspectives. HMT is more from the adult perspective, while this song is more from the perspective of the inner child. I hope this song is as cathartic for others as it was for me to write.

Thank you all for your support, and I hope you enjoy the song!

P.S. There is a JUN version of the song (tuned by @YoppyVU ) that’s being released on streaming services along with this version, so keep an eye out for that!
