Run habibi
A modern IDM stutter house groovy track pulses with syncopated glitch percussion and thick sub-bass, locking in an intense, hypnotic groove. Minor-key arpeggiated synths interlace with ethereal Arabic oud phrases, while lush pads create a spiritual wash. A soft, bitcrushed spoken-word layer—with stuttered, percussive chops on “Sweet” and “Dream”—adds rhythmic complexity. When the Arabic hook rests, “Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi” emerges as a ghostly, reverberated whisper merging with echo-drenched granular synthesis and shifting stereo-width delays. 126 BPM, clean modern mix, sidechained sub-bass, experimental electronic glitch.

Lyrics
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
[Melodic Arabic Hijaz Strings Hook]
[Glitchy electronic pulses, vocoder]
You're not real, you're just a dream
But what is real anyway
Certainly not yesterday
Ya habibi... My beloved
I imagined you last night
You said I was right
You're my shee-REEN,
my sweet, my gentle shee-REEN.
[Hushed Intonation Bloom]
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
[Melodic Arabic Hijaz Strings Hook]
Ya habibi... My beloved
I imagined you last night
But you were there all the time
You're my shee-REEN,
my sweet, my gentle shee-REEN.
[Hushed Intonation Bloom]
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
[Melodic Arabic Hijaz Strings Hook]
[Glitchy electronic pulses, vocoder]
Ya habibi... My beloved
I want to save you,
But my hands are tied
You're my shee-REEN,
my sweet, my gentle shee-REEN.
[Hushed Intonation Bloom]
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi,
Run habibi-bi-bi, ya habibi-bi-bi
[Glitchy electronic pulses, vocoder]
Ya habibi... My b-b-b-beloved
You must be stronger than you know
And I love you, sweet and gentle
You're my shee-REEN,
my sweet, my gentle shee-REEN.
