Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft Wi-Fi ping + scrolling tap sound] —ding… scroll… scroll— Hold up… Let me drift back for a sec… [Hook – dreamy, bright, emotional] Take me back to ’16, when the nights felt light, When we stayed up late just to vibe online. Didn’t worry ’bout likes, didn’t care who saw— Just a soft little post with no real flaw. Play it back like an old Snapchat memory, Ten-second clips that still feel heavenly. Life was changing, hearts were free— Oh, take me back to who we used to be. [Verse 1 – mid-2010s imagery, aesthetic & warm] AirPods? Nah, we had tangled wire, Listening to playlists that set us on fire. Instagram filters on every pic, VSCO edits trying to make ‘em look slick. Posting our outfits with a mirror flash, Tagging besties under jokes we’d stash. Running down hallways just to beat that bell, Trying to hold laughter we couldn’t really quell. Group chats buzzing with emoji slang, Screenshots saved when the tea went bang. Every day felt like a blurry mix— But somehow perfect in those old-school flicks. [Pre-Chorus – soft, hazy build] Back then, no rush, just living slow, Selfies in sunsets with that amber glow. Everything felt soft, everything felt new— And every first love felt so, so true… [Hook – fuller harmonies, warm shimmer] Take me back to ’16, when the nights felt light, When we stayed up late just to vibe online. Didn’t worry ’bout likes, didn’t care who saw— Just a soft little post with no real flaw. Play it back like an old Snapchat memory, Ten-second clips that still feel heavenly. Life was changing, hearts were free— Oh, take me back to who we used to be. [Verse 2 – 2015–16 vibe, sentimental R&B-pop] Ripped jeans, chokers, that Tumblr style, Hand-drawn hearts on your notes all the while. Five-hour calls that we swore felt short, Telling each other secrets we’d never report. Trying out trends from a YouTube feed, Copying makeup looks we’d never really need. Vine quotes flying like a soundtrack hit— “Do it for the vibe” even if it was split. Late-night rides with the aux in hand, Playing that one track like it mattered grand. And that first slow hug outside the mall— I swear that memory still hits like a call. [Bridge – soft, hazy, nostalgic filter] Time keeps shifting, racing ahead, Leaving all the old dreams where we once tread. But sometimes I catch that golden glow— The one we had before life stole the show… [Final Hook – big, bright, emotional] Take me back to ’16, when the nights felt light, When we stayed up late just to vibe online. Didn’t worry ’bout likes, didn’t care who saw— Just a soft little post with no real flaw. Play it back like an old Snapchat memory, Ten-second clips that still feel heavenly. Life was changing, hearts were free— Oh, take me back to who we used to be. Take me back… Take me back… To who we used to be…
