The song "Limerent" is the EP’s crown jewel. Released as a new single alongside the EP, “Limerent” captures the unrelenting emotional intensity of infatuation. The lush synth textures and swelling guitar lines create an atmosphere that feels both vast and intimate, while Patterson’s aviating vocals deliver a heartfelt performance that sticks with you long after the song ends.
Already a fan favorite from its initial release, “Wish You Were Mine” dives into the bittersweet ache of unfulfilled yearning. The upbeat tempo contrasts with the somber lyrics, creating a push-and-pull dynamic that is as catchy as it is heartbreaking.
“She & I” closes the EP on a deeply personal and reflective note. With its subdued verses and shimmering instrumental build, the song paints a poignant portrait of complicated relationships and self-reflection. Patterson’s vocal delivery is raw and vulnerable, fetching the listener even closer to the emotive core of the song.
