Tuu Haseen:
This particular song was written by Saad upon the peculiar contradictions involved in love such being close to someone or something yet feeling far apart, being calm yet uneasy at the same time and so on. We wanted to write a fun song with a simple melody and structure and the lyrics and music ended up complementing each other appropriately.
