"I think of ‘Mood Ring’ as the song you play when you’re ready to let loose and be yourself. It's about those moments when you’re feeling free, wild, and just living in the present. I hope people can vibe with that!" -Bryan Ruby

Capra shares, "We had a great time bringing ‘Mood Ring’ to life – from the get-go it was all about having as much fun as we could in the instruments and vocals to feel like the summer love song that it is ! We knew the song would be done when it felt ready to crank up in the car with the windows down!"

"‘Mood Ring’ is all about capturing that spontaneous, carefree vibe when everything just clicks. It's a fun, no-strings-attached anthem that celebrates the freedom of living in the moment. I’m excited for people to feel that energy when they hear it!" says Ruby.
