Follow the Formula

Verse 1

Four on the floor, kick at 128

Same exact breakdown in the same exact place

Add a vocal chop, add a filter sweep

Sell it as euphoria, they'll never even peek

Behind the curtain it's the same four chords

Just changed the key and renamed it "more"

The crowd's hands go up right on cue

Same trick from Ibiza to Timbuktu

Chorus

Follow the formula, always the same

Follow the formula, plug in a name

Add the riser, add the drop

Nobody's checking if the feeling's real or not

Verse 2

The "emotional" breakdown, two minutes in

Strip it to a piano, let the white noise spin

Bring the bass back right when they raise their hands

That's not a song, that's a formula and a plan

Festival headliner, same set every night

Just a different country, same exact light

They call it a "drop," I call it copy-paste

Same euphoria, different font on the case

Chorus

Follow the formula, always the same

Follow the formula, plug in a name

Add the riser, add the drop

Nobody's checking if the feeling's real or not

Bridge

I'm not mad at the dancing, I'm mad at the lie

That calls a spreadsheet "art" and expects you to cry

The bassline don't care if you call it deep

It's the same four bars on a different loop

Outro

Follow the formula, that's the trick

Add a vocal, add a build, here it comes — click

Maybe it works because it's tested a thousand times

Or maybe we forgot what it sounds like to take a risk

Spoken
