Written with humour, theatrical storytelling, and emotional honesty, this song reflects on karma and the idea that every action eventually finds its way back to us. Inspired by thoughts around injustice and consequence, the track imagines the moment when someone is finally confronted with the impact of what they’ve done. Created from a simple guitar idea, the song grew into a dramatic and playful exploration of truth, regret, and justice. Drawing from a strong theatre background, every lyric was written to feel vivid and cinematic. The visuals compliment the playful and theatrical nature of the song, bringing its humour, drama, and storytelling to life in a bold and expressive way. While the song touches on heavier emotions, it does so with wit, personality and a playfulness that makes it stand apart.
