"Falling Up" is a spin off of my instrumental track, "Falling", released in March, this time collaborating with singer-songwriter Kai Mata. The result is a heartfelt song that talks about trusting the person we love.

While "Falling" was written as a love letter to my newborn child, then "Falling Up" takes the feeling of love and carries it forward between two people in love, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.

Although I frequently co-write, I still feel glad whenever I get to work with a co-writer that breathes new life and new perspective on my works, as if it turns into something that is simultaneously new and familiar. When Kai Mata listened to "Falling", she wanted to echo the playfulness in my instrumental composition, which propelled her to write lyrics that depicted falling in ways that are surreal. This led her to wanting the lyrics and melody to sound as if she is falling upwards. "Effervescence was the quality I aimed at creating, like the bubbles that rise in a freshly opened bottle of soda.  That’s how the track felt to me, and I ran with it," she explains.
