This track is an emotional pop ballad with a distinct Christmas theme. Its foundation is a soft-sounding piano playing a classic, melancholic vi-IV-I-V chord progression (Gm - Eb - Bb - F) in the key of B-flat Major, a style heavily influenced by artists like Lewis Capaldi.
The arrangement is designed to build dynamically. It begins minimally with just the piano and gradually introduces a very subtle rhythm section. The tempo of 116 BPM is intended to be felt in half-time (at 58 BPM), creating a slow, spacious, and deliberate pace. The drums are sparse, featuring a soft kick and rimshot that anchor the half-time feel, while sleigh bells add a festive yet lonely color on the backbeats. The addition of sustained string pads in the chorus elevates the emotional weight, providing a warm, cinematic backdrop for the longing and nostalgic mood.
