The songwriting session began in a small London flat where Rikki and K‑Dream laid down a piano demo while watching a documentary about the Apollo moon landings. The chord progression—an ascending B♭maj7 → Cm9 → Gm7 → Fsus2—evoked the feeling of “lifting off.” Rikki immediately began humming a melodic hook that would become the chorus: “I’m stepping out, I’m breathing in / All the colors that I’ve never seen.”
