BPM: 125
[Verse 1]
City lights flicker, neon on my skin
Heartbeats sync like engines, I'm stepping in
Pulses push me forward, feet won't stall
Tonight I'm rising, answering the call
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step electric, breath ignites
The future's mine — no wasting these lights
[Chorus]
Feel the electric heartbeat — I'm alive
It courses through my veins and cuts the night
I light the skyline with one fearless step
My pulse rewires the streetlights — watch them light
(Ad‑lib: ah! ah!)
[Verse 2]
Neon waves crash in my chest, tides of gold
Crisp rhythm moves my bones, I won't fold
Confident and soaring on this endless ride
Power in my voice, fire from inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step electric, breath ignites
The future's mine — no wasting these lights
[Chorus]
Feel the electric heartbeat — I'm alive
It courses through my veins and cuts the night
I light the skyline with one fearless step
My pulse rewires the streetlights — watch them light
(Ad‑lib: ah! ah! yeah!)
[Bridge — reveal / counterpoint]
I once kept shadows folded at my heels
They wrote my limits in the sand, told me to kneel
When thunder came I learned to stand in rain
Every fear turned fuel, every scar a flame
[Chorus — big]
Feel the electric heartbeat — I'm alive
It courses through my veins and cuts the night
I light the skyline with one fearless step
My pulse rewires the streetlights — watch them light
(Ad‑lib motif: ooh — ah — ooh!)
[Outro]
Electric heartbeat, running through my soul
Unstoppable and shining, I am whole
(Last ad‑lib tag: ah! — ah! — oh!)

Production Notes for Engineer (125 BPM):
- Tempo: 125 BPM (confirmed). Test singability at 125 BPM; keep vocal phrases tight so hook hits on beat 1.
- Low end: dominant, pulsating sub synth bass (mono below 200 Hz, slight saturation) that locks to the kick via side-chain compression for a driving pump.
- Pads: gated 80s-style pads (short gate tails) layered with modern, bright top-end synth arps; use subtle chorus on pads for width but keep mid clarity.
- Arps/Leads: crisp, slightly detuned 80s leads with high‑end sparkle; automate filter to open into choruses for lift.
- Drums: punchy electronic kicks, tight transient shaping, crisp claps with plate reverb on the backbeat, hi‑hat grooves that ride the 16th grid; parallel compression for weight.
- Side‑chaining: pads and sustained elements side‑chained to the kick for rhythmic drive; keep vocal pocket clear.
- Vocals: confident female lead — dry/forward in verses, doubled and stacked in choruses with wide harmonies. Use selective delay throws and short plate reverb; add subtle saturation to the lead for presence.
- Ad‑lib motif: place short, punchy ad‑libs (“ah!”, “ooh”) as rhythmic punctuation at ends of chorus lines; treat with slap delay and widen for live energy.
- FX: tasteful risers into choruses, gated noise sweeps, and rhythmic tremolo on transitional elements.
- Mix: radio-ready balance — bright top end (2–8 kHz), warm mids (200–2k), controlled sub (20–120 Hz). Glue with
