Backseat Rhythm

[Verse 1]
You pull up
Hair tied
Old hoodie
Fresh trouble
You say
"Drive"
I’m laughing
But I’m hitting the gas
Window down
Your feet on the dash
You’re humming
Whole town
Just blurring out
We don’t look back
[Chorus]
Backseat rhythm
You slide in closer (closer)
Got my heartbeat tripping on every motion
You turn my weekend into a movie scene
Every little glance got a groove in between
Backseat rhythm
We lose our caution (hey!)
Every wrong turn feels like it’s chosen
I don’t need a map when you lean on me
Backseat rhythm
That’s all I need
[Verse 2]
Red light
You’re stealing my fries
Still smiling
You say
"Let’s get lost
See where we land"
Green sign
We’re nowhere
But it feels like something
Slow time
Your hand tracing circles on my hand
[Chorus]
Backseat rhythm
You slide in closer (closer)
Got my heartbeat tripping on every motion
You turn my weekend into a movie scene
Every little glance got a groove in between
Backseat rhythm
We lose our caution (oh yeah)
Every wrong turn feels like it’s chosen
I don’t need a map when you lean on me
Backseat rhythm
That’s all I need
[Bridge]
Who knew being stupid
Could feel this right
Two kids in a borrowed car
Owning the night
If this is a detour
Let’s never arrive
Keep that backseat rhythm
Keeping us alive (yeah)
[Chorus]
Backseat rhythm
You slide in closer
Got my heartbeat tripping on every motion
You turn my weekend into a movie scene
Every little glance got a groove in between
Backseat rhythm
We lose our caution
Every wrong turn feels like it’s chosen
I don’t need a map when you lean on me
Backseat rhythm
That’s all I need

funk, Glossy pop-funk bounce over springy bass and crisp guitar chops; tight drum groove with claps on the upbeat, synth stabs on pre-chorus. Male vocals sit playful and upfront, stacked harmonies on the hook, subtle talk-back ad-libs. Bridge strips to bass and snaps, then everything slams back in for a final singalong chorus., pop, bounce, male vocals
