Exam Day Heartbeat

Bubbly J-pop with bright synth leads, glockenspiel sparks, and tight upbeat drums, Female vocals, sweet and agile, with layered harmonies in the chorus, Verses stay a bit lighter with palm-muted guitar and soft pads; pre-chorus builds tension using rising chords; chorus bursts into full-band sparkle and claps, Brief middle-eight drop to half-time with whispered backing vocals, then a final, higher-key chorus for a giddy finish, female vocals

[Verse 1] Alarm rings early I jump out of bed (hey!) Highlighters ready Notes running in my head Sticky notes blooming All over my wall Every tiny formula I’m trying to catch them all [Pre-Chorus] Hands a little shaking Page edges curled But I’ve been secretly Rewriting my world Every late-night coffee Every sleepy yawn Led me right here To this bright new dawn [Chorus] My heart goes “don don” exam day morning Racing the clock But I’m not afraid All of my doodled dreams in the margins Turn into courage on the page I studied I stumbled I stood up laughing Now I can’t wait to see what I’ve become My heart goes “don don” exam day morning Bring it on I’m ready Here I come (ooh yeah) [Verse 2] Desk full of pencils Lucky charm in place Tiny smiling sticker Looks just like my face Practice tests folded Stuffed into my bag Every wrong answer A little lesson tag [Pre-Chorus] Waiting in the hallway Breathing in slow Whispering the keywords Only I know Yesterday’s worries Falling like rain Today I’m a rainbow Over my own brain [Chorus] My heart goes “don don” exam day morning Racing the clock But I’m not afraid All of my doodled dreams in the margins Turn into courage on the page I studied I stumbled I stood up laughing Now I can’t wait to see what I’ve become My heart goes “don don” exam day morning Bring it on I’m ready Here I come (let’s go!) [Bridge] If the question looks scary I’ll smile anyway “Hey I know your secret We met yesterday” All of my notebooks Cheer inside my mind “You did your best Girl Now let yourself shine” (shine!) [Chorus] My heart goes “don don” exam day morning Racing the clock But I’m not afraid All of my doodled dreams in the margins Turn into courage on the page I studied I stumbled I stood up laughing Now I’m excited just to see it through My heart goes “don don” exam day morning Whatever the score is I’m proud I grew
