"Hollywood’s Tearing me Down"
vulnerable but confident, lonely party energy, raw emotion in delivery, slightly off-pitch slides, slurred and drawn-out vowels, raspy breathy voice, half-singing, half-rapping, hypnotic repetition in hooks, emotional falsetto flicks, intimate yet stadium-ready phrasing, casual but intentional ad-libs (“yeah, whoa, ooh”), melancholic swagger, heartbreak mixed with indulgence, smooth melodic flow over trap beats, mid-tempo bounce, emotional honesty, wistful nostalgia, dreamy synth and guitar textures, echoing vocals, spacious production that highlights imperfections, catchy yet introspective choruses, hypnotic layering of voice, drifting behind the beat, raw and human feel.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
City lights keep callin’, I’m up again (yeah, oh)
All these nights, I’m losin’ track of when (whoa-oh)
Faded dreams in every hotel room (mmm, yeah)
Tryna chase a high that won’t leave me soon (ooh, ayy)
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve been runnin’ from the pain (pain, yeah)
But it’s followin’ me again (again, oh-oh)
Every bottle, every friend (every friend, whoa)
Feels like somethin’’s breakin’ in the end (end, yeah)
(Chorus)
Hollywood’s tearin’ me down (down, yeah-yeah)
But I keep floatin’, I don’t hit the ground (ground, oh-oh)
Lights flash, my head spins ‘round (spins ‘round, ayy)
I’m a ghost in the city that won’t slow down (won’t slow down, yeah)
Hollywood’s tearin’ me down (down, ooh)
But I keep flyin’, never touch the ground (ground, yeah, whoa)
All these faces, all these sounds (all these sounds, ayy)
Keep me lost, but I won’t be found (won’t be found, yeah)
(Verse 2)
Late-night rides with no one in the back (back, oh-oh)
Chasin’ thrills, but feelin’ somethin’ I lack (mmm, yeah)
Every corner hides another lie (whoa, ayy)
Tryna numb a heart that won’t comply (won’t comply, yeah)
(Bridge)
Ooooh, I’m faded in the neon glow (neon glow, oh)
Every step I take, I lose control (lose control, yeah)
Pull me closer, let me feel it all (feel it all, whoa)
Even if the city makes me fall (makes me fall, yeah)
(Chorus)
Hollywood’s tearin’ me down (down, yeah-yeah)
But I keep floatin’, I don’t hit the ground (ground, oh-oh)
Lights flash, my head spins ‘round (spins ‘round, ayy)
I’m a ghost in the city that won’t slow down (won’t slow down, yeah)
Hollywood’s tearin’ me down (down, ooh)
But I keep flyin’, never touch the ground (ground, yeah, whoa)
All these faces, all these sounds (all these sounds, ayy)
Keep me lost, but I won’t be found (won’t be found, yeah)
(Outro – fading, airy)
Ooooh, Hollywood… (yeah, oh)
Tearin’ me, tearin’ me down (down, whoa)
I keep floatin’, never touch the ground (never touch the ground, yeah)
Ooooh, Hollywood…
