BE YOU
Contemporary R&B and Trap Soul. The track features a prominent, syncopated sub-bass line that follows a 140 BPM tempo in the key of G# minor. A clean, electric guitar plays a repetitive four-bar melodic loop with light chorus and reverb. The drum kit consists of a crisp, dry snare on the third beat, rapid-fire 32nd-note hi-hat rolls with pitch automation, and a heavy, distorted 808 kick. Atmospheric, pitched-down vocal chops are used as a melodic texture in the background. A bright, digital synth pluck enters periodically to accent the chord changes. The arrangement is minimalist, focusing on the interplay between the dry percussion and the lush, ambient guitar layers.

Lyrics
Instrumental
Intro
clean electric guitar melodic loop with chorus effect
distant, pitched-down vocal chops with heavy reverb
Main Section
distorted 808 kick enters
dry snare on beat 3
rapid 32nd-note hi-hat rolls with pitch slides
syncopated sub-bass follows the kick pattern
bright digital synth pluck accents every second bar
Breakdown
drums and bass drop out
guitar loop continues with low-pass filter sweep
vocal chops become more prominent
Outro
808 kick and hi-hats return briefly
final guitar chord rings out with delay tail
