Paper hearts
sultry, 80s-inspired synth-pop track with a modern glam-rock twist, featuring a confident female vocal in a mid-low range with a slightly husky timbre, conveying both empowerment and introspection. Use analog-style synthesizers for warm pads, bright arpeggios, and pulsing basslines, complemented by clean electric guitar riffs with subtle reverb. Incorporate steady, mid-tempo drums with soft gated snares and gentle hi-hat patterns. Add atmospheric effects like light echoes and vocal layering to create depth and presence. The vocal delivery should be smooth, slightly breathy, with occasional stretched syllables and soft falsetto phrases for emotional emphasis. Structure the song with verses that build into a catchy, anthem-like chorus, maintaining a balance of retro 80s glamour and modern pop polish. The overall mood is nocturnal, sensual, reflective, yet confidently bold.

Lyrics
Intro
Uh-uh, yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Na-na, na-na (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Verse 1
Gave you fire, got back smoke,
Played your game, the rules all broke.
Say my name, it fades away,
But my heart still beats this way.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I don’t fall (fall-fall-fall),
I stand tall (tall-tall-tall).
Turn the pain into art,
Stronger with my paper heart.
Chorus
Paper hearts, burnin’, burnin’,
Still alive, I keep on turnin’.
Na-na-na, you can’t break me,
Na-na-na, love won’t shake me.
Paper hearts, fire inside,
I survive...
Verse 2
Empty rooms, your ghost still sings,
Cut the cord, I grow my wings.
Every tear’s a melody,
Every wound’s my symphony.
Pre-Chorus 2
Oh, I don’t bend (bend-bend-bend),
I transcend (cend-cend-cend).
Every scar plays a part,
Stronger with my paper heart.
Verse 3
Late-night streets, the city hums,
Memories fade but the beat drums.
I find power in every fall,
I rise louder, I stand tall.
Verse 4
Shadows linger, but I don’t break,
Every step a new path I take.
Love may vanish, flames may die,
But I’m still burning, you can’t deny.
Bridge
Ooooh, I rise, I rise again,
Ooooh, I rise, I rise again.
Call my name, I’m not the same,
From the ashes I became.
Breakdown
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-paper (hearts!)
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-paper (hearts!)
Beat it loud, beat it harder,
Love is gone, but I’m stronger.
Final Chorus
Paper hearts, burnin’, burnin’,
Still alive, I keep on turnin’.
Na-na-na, you can’t break me,
Na-na-na, love won’t shake me.
Paper hearts, fire inside,
I survive, I survive.
