📖 The story behind this song

💝 Love & Romance

"I want a song for my boyfriend Alex. We've been long-distance for 3 years — he's in the military. Every night we watch the same show over video call. Please include his name Alex and the phrase he always texts me: 'See you soon, sunshine.'"

🌹 Grief & Healing

"This is for my dad Gerald, who passed last year. He built my childhood treehouse. Every Sunday — blueberry pancakes and terrible knock-knock jokes. He loved Johnny Cash. I want something that celebrates his laughter and the way he always made me feel safe."

🎉 Celebration

"My best friend Megan is turning 30. She shows up at 2am when you need her. We've survived bad haircuts, worse breakups, and a road trip where we got lost for 6 hours. Upbeat, fun, something that makes her dance — and mention her name in the chorus."
