[Production notes]
Tempo: 104 BPM (danceable 100–110 BPM range)
Vibe: bright K-pop pop; staccato synth stabs on downbeat, punchy four-on-the-floor kick, crisp snare, layered backing vocals on hooks, tight bass groove.
Arrange cues: verse = sparse synth + snap, pre-chorus = build with vocal layers, chorus = big stacked vocals + layered harmonies, rap breakdown = minimal keys + percussion pocket, final chorus = full synths + ad-libs and riffs.
[Intro]
(Ad-lib: “ooh”)
(Short vocal riff)
On cloud— on cloud— (vocal riff)
[Verse 1]
Lights go low, I step, I try (short / punch)
Heart starts fast, words run dry (rhyme tight)
I move close but then I freeze
You twist my head like summer breeze
[Pre-Chorus]
My chest hits quick, then I can't speak
Heat on my face, red on my cheek
My heart beats faster when you're near, wanna talk to you but then im full of fear, might just approach you to smell your hair, its not fair, am I weird, well I don't care. (vocal riff: doo-dooo)
Hold my breath, hit restart
[Chorus]
I'm on cloud nine, I'm on cloud nine (hook x2) (layered backing vox)
You lift me up, you lift me up (repeat)
Smile — I fly, smile — I fly (repeat)
I'm on cloud nine, I'm on cloud nine (hook x2) (ad-lib: “yeah!”)
[Verse 2]
You laugh, the room flips, colors glow
I trip on words, but I still show
A little scared, a little bold
Play my heart like gold-foil, sold
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hide the shake, I run the game
I fake cool but feel the flame
Cloud nine when im with you im on cloud nine, yes that means happy but im not fine, Because after so much time you're not mine, smile at me please don't you see the sign? (vocal riff)
[Chorus] (tight / dance)
I'm on cloud nine, I'm on cloud nine (hook x2)
You lift me up, you lift me up
Smile — I fly, smile — I fly
I'm on cloud nine, I'm on cloud nine (ad-lib: “uh!”)

You know why I like spiders? Cause a spider has eight legs and thats the amount of letters it takes to spell, I love you.

My heart beats
