Backseat Daydream
Małgorzata Stępień
pop
female vocals
wide reverb
bright synth plucks
Shimmering modern pop with female vocals
tight side-chained pads
and glossy top-line melodies. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and minimalist drums; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies
and a pulsing four-on-the-floor kick. Brief middle lift strips to claps and bass before the final hook hits hardest.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You pull up
Half past late
Headlights in my coffee cup
Old band tee
You joke that you dressed up just for me
We talk small
’Bout your job
My rent
And nothing at all
But your eyes
Are already on some other life
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
I’m leaning on your shoulder
Laughing like I’m not getting older
Windows down
But I’m burning up inside
If I say what I’m thinking
Would it ruin tonight?
Backseat daydream
You’re singing off-key
Every wrong note still sounds perfect to me
Tell me
Do you feel this
Or is it just mine?
Backseat daydream
Stuck in my mind (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Red light
You tap the wheel
I memorize your profile line
You say “friends”
And that word stings soft like peppermint
You change lanes
I change the subject so it’s not strange
But my heart
Is tracing your name in the dark
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
I’m leaning on your shoulder
Laughing like I’m not getting older
Windows down
But I’m burning up inside
If I say what I’m thinking
Would it ruin tonight?
Backseat daydream
You’re singing off-key
Every wrong note still sounds perfect to me
Tell me
Do you feel this
Or is it just mine?
Backseat daydream
Stuck in my mind (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll tell you at the next stop sign
Or maybe I’ll keep you as my favorite almost-right
You drop me off
Say “text me when you’re home”
I say “sure
” then write your name in every note in my phone (hey)
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
I’m leaning on your shoulder
Laughing like I’m not getting older
Windows down
But I’m burning up inside
If I say what I’m thinking
Would it ruin tonight?
Backseat daydream
You’re singing off-key
Every wrong note still sounds perfect to me
Tell me
Do you feel this
Or is it just mine?
Backseat daydream
Backseat daydream
Stuck in my mind (oh-oh)
You pull up
Half past late
Headlights in my coffee cup
Old band tee
You joke that you dressed up just for me
We talk small
’Bout your job

And nothing at all
But your eyes
Are already on some other life
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
I’m leaning on your shoulder
Laughing like I’m not getting older
Windows down
But I’m burning up inside
If I say what I’m thinking
Would it ruin tonight?
Backseat daydream
You’re singing off-key
Every wrong note still sounds perfect to me
Tell me
Do you feel this
Or is it just mine?
