‘I Will Ever Be Your Head’ introduces RESET with a delicate balance of instrumentation and narrative depth. With its deep bass riff, jazzy drums, and lush brass arrangements, Hak creates an undeniably captivating atmosphere that is sure to turn heads. Lyrically, the song delves into themes of self-liberation, digital isolation, and the complexities of modern power dynamics. Drawing inspiration from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice and Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Hak weaves a narrative of voyeurism and control, set against the backdrop of the digital age, where virtual spaces often feel just as constricting as physical ones. The track’s sophisticated blend of bass, horns, guitars, and layered vocals creates an emotionally charged atmosphere, reflecting the strength and vulnerability inherent in the song’s themes.
Lilian Hak describes the creative process behind the song: “I started with the lyrics for this one. The bass riff and trombone section felt like the skeleton of the track. I built on that by layering in horns, guitars, and rich vocal harmonies. After handling the pre-production myself, I went into the studio with my producer to record drums, bass, and guitars, then stacked multiple layers of vocals to create depth.” As for the song’s deeper meaning, Hak asserts, “The song’s protagonist refuses to be manipulated. I am not your fool to tag.”
