Beat and melody blend nicely — check (NeXt Sc Pro) 🎶

With "Undo," I wanted to write about that universal feeling of regret right after you've said something careless to someone you love. The entire production is built around the idea of reversing time—multiple guitar riffs are played backwards, the main vocal hook is chopped and glitched like a broken memory, and old-fashioned tape rewinding reels kick in at various points. The verses are quiet and full of tension, but the chorus explodes into this huge, emotional drop because that feeling of desperation is massive. It's an apology and a fantasy, a song for anyone who's ever wished they could just hit a button and take it all back.

Lyrics: [Verse 1]
Silence in the car, feels so cold tonight
Drivin' through the city but I'm runnin' from the light
Of the words I said, hangin' in the air
I see 'em in the way you're starin' out of there
I'm tryna find a road that can take us back in time
To the moment right before I crossed the line
'Cause every mile we're drivin' is a mile we're far apart
And I'm lookin' for a button I can press to restart...
I just wish that I could hit undo
Erase the last five minutes, take 'em back from you
Oh, I'd rewind the tape, I would change the scene
And swallow all the words that were careless and mean
Can we just undo?
Pretend it wasn't true?
I know that I can't fix it, but I'm askin' you
Can we just undo?

[Verse 2]
I see your reflection in the window glass
A perfect thing I shattered, hopin' it would pass
Now I'm countin' all the pieces, hopin' I can save
This love that you so freely, so honestly gave
And I hate the man I was for a minute on that clock
The one who had the key and then went and broke the lock
'Cause every word is playin' on a loop inside my head
And I'd give anything to say something else instead...
I just wish that I could hit undo
Erase the last five minutes, take 'em back from you
Oh, I'd rewind the tape, I would change the scene
And swallow all the words that were careless and mean
Can we just undo?
Pretend it wasn't true?
I know that I can't fix it, but I'm askin' you
Can we just undo?
Is it too late to take it back?
Is there a way to get on track?
'Cause you're the only thing that's ever felt like home...
Don't wanna do this all alone.
I just wish that I could hit undo
Erase the last five minutes, take 'em back from you
Oh, I'd rewind the tape, I would change the scene
And swallow all the words that were careless and mean
Can we just undo?
Pretend it wasn't true?
I know that I can't fix it, but I'm askin' you
Can we just undo?
