[Intro – PULSE OPENER] [Male – Deep, breathy spoken vocal] Heartbeat in the silence… Feel that light on your skin. DARK HARBOUR. ZĀRIYĀ. Let the night begin. [Instrumental – Pulsing sub-bass, filtered Afrobeats percussion, shimmering synth arpeggio] [Build – Kick enters gradually, syncopated hand percussion] [Verse 1 – Male] White silk, gold chains, sunset in your eyes You move like a secret underneath these skies One touch, two hearts, rhythm in the heat Every little step got me losing my beat You don’t need a spotlight, baby, you already shine Got the whole horizon tryna follow your design When the bassline catches and the moon comes through Every colour in the world turns a shade of you [Pre-Chorus – Male] Come a little closer, let the temperature rise There’s a whole new universe hiding in your eyes No tomorrow calling, we can leave it outside When you turn around, girl, the whole world goes— [Chorus – Male, with Female harmonies] Lookin’ so hot in that light Golden on your skin tonight Move your body, pull me inside We can make the stars collide Lookin’ so hot in that light Teal and gold in the midnight sky If this moment is all we find Baby, let me live in your light [Post-Chorus – Female, melodic ad-libs] In that light, light, light You got me glowing all night In that light, light, light Boy, you know you got me right [Verse 2 – Female / ZĀRIYĀ] Walk in, whole place turn gold New queen energy, never do what I’m told Waistline talking when the drumline rolls Got that fire in my body, got that sun in my soul He say, “Come closer,” I say, “Maybe, behave” I’m the wave, I’m the heat, I’m the tidal-wave babe From the coast to the city, make the whole world sway If you want this kind of magic, better dance my way Gold on my wrist and the stars in formation You and me tonight, international sensation No competition, I’m the whole destination One little smile, now you’re lost in temptation [Pre-Chorus – Male and Female] [Male] Come a little closer, let the temperature rise [Female] Keep your eyes on me, don’t you look to the skies [Male] When the rhythm takes over, let the whole world slide [Both] When you turn around, everything goes— [Chorus – Both] Lookin’ so hot in that light Golden on your skin tonight Move your body, pull me inside We can make the stars collide Lookin’ so hot in that light Teal and gold in the midnight sky If this moment is all we find Baby, let me live in your light [Dance Break – Afrobeats drums, log drum, bright synth stabs] [Female – Chanted] Left, right, bring it down Turn it up, shake the ground Left, right, feel that heat Let the whole world move to the beat [Male – Whispered] Feel the pulse… [BLACKOUT DROP – Everything cuts to silence] [One heartbeat] [Male – Close-mic whisper] You still glow when the lights go out. [Sub-bass impact – Explosive percussion, euphoric synth lead, full dance beat] [Final Chorus – Both, bigger harmonies] Lookin’ so hot in that light Burning like the sun at night Hold me closer, don’t let it die We can keep this fire alive Lookin’ so hot in that light Every shadow turning bright When the morning comes in sight You’ll still be my favourite light [Outro – Female, soft melodic ad-libs] In that light… stay with me In that light… endlessly [Male – Deep, intimate spoken vocal] After Dark. [Female – Whispered] Before Dawn. [Male – Sung] When the last stars fade away Your light is the chord that stays. [Signature Ending – Both, whispered] After Dark. Before Dawn. [Final chord – Warm, suspended major add9 synth chord with a soft vocal breath; long shimmering reverb tail fading into silence]
