it pelts me into a whole other state of mind. it's like stumbling on the footpath in the dead of night while it's storming.

i need this injected into my veins, immediately. i wish i could go back somehow and listen to it for the first time again. genuinely a life changing experience.

memorising the lyrics of a 7-something-minute long song which bears poetry that outshines even shakespeare himself is something i am quite adept at.

oh boy, does this song make me feel alive. i miss 2015 and being a teenager who was simultaneously obsessed with one direction.

this song will always hold a special place in my heart, because i used to sing it to my senior dog, mickey, when she was in the last stages of her life. i miss her every day.

listening to this and ascending to another plane while imagining myself as the lead actress of some movie. i always connect this song with my favourite (wattpad) book, "in 27 days".

deliciously painful. it brings back bitter memories but i love it all the same.

larping as a latina every time this absolute banger plays.

such a feel-good song! i want to use it on my birthday at some point... whenever i gain my creative juices back... sighs.

am i 22? yes. do i love upbeat songs that make me want to scream the lyrics out loud? also yes. and i happen to be a HUGE fan of kpdh (i especially love the dumb, blue tiger, or "derpy" as named by the fandom).

i cannot believe that it is the theme song of an ITV serial. how the hell did they manage to curate such utter beauty into a song? the lyrics, the tune, the everything... it is so very lucknow. i love it.

another banger from the itv soap opera department... very lucknow core, and easily likeable.

my mind gets captured in a haze whenever this gem of a song invades my playlist. bollywood, please never stop making music. i beg.

god, i wanna run under the archways and through the halls of abandoned mughal castles while blaring this song at full volume.

when i am in a "creating a song with a bridge in which 2 people harmonize in such a way that it leaves the listener in tears" and my opponent is taylor swift.

my favourite, mi favorito, mein favorit, mera pasandida - okay, these are all the languages i am able to frame my feelings in. does my rabid repetition give away that i am in LOVE with this song? yes, i am. this is the song that got me and my boyfriend together. he confessed to me subtly through its lyrics back in 2022 - i'll never forget.

inspired a whole book in my drafts. it's so poppy! i love it.

this song leaves an indentation in my heart that is in the shape of nostalgia every time i listen to it. i will never be that young, that happy, that bright again.

every track of ive is a 5/5, i fear. this one is just at the top for me.

one of the catchiest k-pop songs ever. i got hooked within 2 listens.

i want my life to mimic something close to how ok jaanu sounds like.

fell in love with these boys within the first listen of this song, because i love it when music feels like sun on my skin.

learning the choreography of this song because i simply cannot let this preppy masterpiece go to waste by NOT DANCING TO IT!

as opposed to many critics of this song who consider it "cringey", i am coming forward to say that it is one THE top 5 itzy tracks to me.

i miss you my joyous somi
