[MALE LEAD] [COUNTRY CROSSOVER × DIRTY SOUL × MODERN FUNK] [PLAYFUL / MAGNETIC / CONTROLLED] [CHORUS = MINIMAL PHYSICAL HOOK] [NO EXPLANATORY BRIDGE] [Cold Open — guitar scrape, breath] [Female, off-mic] You always talk this much? [Male, low] Only when you're listening. [BASS] [Male] Come on then. [Verse 1 — low melodic pocket] You got that look like you already know how this ends. I got a feeling you've been wrong before. You take one step, then wait— like you're daring me to notice. I noticed. Don't worry. I ain't gonna make it easy. [PRE — drums tighten, vocal rises] You lean in— I lean back. You smile— I don't react. You say, "That's all you got?" [COMPLETE CUT] Baby— don't ask me that. [CHORUS — groove explodes, lyric gets SMALLER] Come on then. Come on then. You want fire? Come on then. One step. Two step. Right there. Don't stop. Come on then. [POST-CHORUS — SIGNATURE] [BARITONE GUITAR: DAH—DA-DAH] [MALE VOCAL BREAK: chest → quick falsetto crack] Oh— [Male, low] There you are. [Verse 2 — faster rhythmic melody] Now we're talking without talking. Whole room gone, but we're still watching. You move left, I let you pass. You come back— I like that. No promises. No big confession. No turning this into a question. Right now is doing just fine. [Female] You sure? [Male] Mm. Try me. [PRE — DIFFERENT MELODY] Don't tell me what you're thinking. Let me catch it when it moves. You don't have to give me everything— just give me something true. [Female] Like what? [SILENCE] [Male] That. [CHORUS] Come on then. Come on then. You want fire? Come on then. One step. Two step. Right there. Don't stop. Come on then. [POST — BASS TAKES THE HOOK] Come— come— come on then. [INSTRUMENTAL MUTATION] [ACOUSTIC STRINGS BECOME PERCUSSION] [BASS + KICK TRADE PHRASES] [BARITONE GUITAR BENDS AGAINST VOCAL CHOPS] [NO LYRICAL EXPLANATION] [BREAKDOWN — CLOSE MIC] [Female] Thought you said you weren't gonna make it easy. [Male] I didn't. [Female] Feels pretty easy. [2 BEATS SILENCE] [Male laugh under breath] That's because you're good at it. [LOW GUITAR HIT] [Female] Come on then. [Male] Oh— now you wanna use my line? [BEAT RETURNS] [FINAL CHORUS — FEMALE INITIATES] [Female] Come on then. [Male] Come on then. [Both] You want fire? Come on then. [Male] One step. [Female] Two step. [Male] Right there. [Female] Don't stop. [Both] COME ON THEN. [INSTRUMENTAL HIT] [Male — clean high mix] Come oooon— [FALSETTO FRACTURE] then. [BARITONE GUITAR ANSWERS] [Female, dry] That's better. [Male] Again. [HARD CUT]
