Navigating the listener through her journey thus far, she begins to unravel her trials and tribulations giving supporters a deeper insight to her life and where she aims to be.

“I’ve always wanted to be an Apsara dancer, so I thought what better way can I be one than by making a song that showcases what I envision a dancer’s strength and femininity would be with a modern twist”

“I sampled Khmer Apsara vocals and instrumentals to turn the beat thumping song into a dance-worthy tune,”

The visuals for this track give an insight into the mind of Maggie as she was composing this track.
