    Naïka’s background story on the whistling came up on my fyp on tiktok with a sample of this song and immediately became a new fan. Such a memorable story. Bonus that the beat is so catchy! 🥰
    Also so much serotonin from:
    Every time’s a new time
    Never been a blue time
    Now I got a new shine ✨

      @@inactive7167 the whistle you hear at the beginning of the song is from naika's great-uncle, her mom found the recording at her grandpa's house if I'm not mistaken, and she made a song and dedicated it to him (for gerard). There's a tiktok where she talks about it
