About the song: “Summertime” is about embracing youth and choosing to burn brightly in the present moment. In this song, summer is not simply a season, but a mindset — moving toward music, freedom, and the people who walk that path together. At its core, the song is about fully living in the now, even while knowing that this season will not last forever.
How did we make it: “Summertime” began with Star’s acoustic guitar and melody, forming the emotional core of the song. The first arrangement was developed by Star and Gun, where the basic structure and direction were shaped. When Wee and Leest joined, the track entered a second stage of arrangement, expanding into a fuller band sound. As we continued refining it together, we naturally leaned into the style that represents us best — stronger guitar riffs, dynamic drums, and a more powerful vocal presence — which ultimately shaped the final version of “Summertime.”
