This single was co-composed by SHAB, along with hitmakers Damon Sharpe—known for his work with Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, and Kylie Minogue—and JHart, who has collaborated with Justin Bieber, Kygo, and Sabrina Carpenter. Together, they’ve created a track that’s sophisticated yet irresistibly catchy, blending romance with rhythm in a way that’s become SHAB’s signature style. Swerve’s layered production and meticulously crafted beat pull listeners into a cinematic journey of romantic possibilities, reflecting SHAB’s own bold approach to life and love.
