the letter f
Pop punk with brisk downstroke guitars, galloping drums, and a punchy four-on-the-floor lift in the chorus; verse rides tight power-chord stops, pre-chorus strips to bass and clap snaps, chorus hits with shouted gang doubles and a rising octave hook. Vocal is dry and close in verses, stacked and gritty on hooks with short delay throws on the last word. Ear candy includes tape-stop pulls, reverse cymbal swells, and a final key-change lift. Bright, loud, and jangly-clean in the mix.

Lyrics
Verse 1
F
F on the page
F in my chest
F in the way
I never rest
One long line
No place to land
Just a loud little spark
In a shaking hand
Pre-Chorus
Ooh, it starts again
Ooh, it starts again
I bite my lip
Then I laugh instead
Chorus
Ffffff, I’m alive
Ffffff, I’m alive
Say it back now
Say it back now
Ffffff, I’m alive
Ffffff, I’m alive
One more time now
One more time now
Verse 2
F for the floor
F for the fall
F for the bruise
That won’t tell all
I kept the noise
I kept the flame
I kept one word
And wore the name
Pre-Chorus
Ooh, it starts again
Ooh, it starts again
I shake it off
Then I jump right in
Chorus
Ffffff, I’m alive
Ffffff, I’m alive
Say it back now
Say it back now
Ffffff, I’m alive
Ffffff, I’m alive
One more time now
One more time now
Bridge
Breakdown
F... F... F...
I was built on the edge of a grin
F... F... F...
I fall apart, then I start again
Final Chorus
Ffffff, I’m alive
Ffffff, I’m alive
Say it back now
Say it back now
Ffffff, I’m alive
Ffffff, I’m alive
One more time now
One more time now
