Un-Settled
An upbeat, high-energy UK R&B record with strong Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Maleek-type melodic elements, built around lush pads, wide harmonies and a driving, syncopated drum pattern. The instrumental should feel tense but smooth, with a fast, punchy tempo and a bassline that leads the entire groove, sitting heavy and forward in the mix. Verses carry a more rhythmic, conversational flow with UK vocal inflection, no American phrasing, and a slightly urgent tone. Pre-chorus shifts into a more atmospheric space with lighter chords, filtered drums and softer melodic ad-libs, signalling transition. The chorus expands wide: full drums return, bass thickens, and airy backing vocals add lift without turning choral until the final chorus. Final chorus should introduce a choir-pad texture for elevation and deliver a dramatic emotional swell. The outro fades out on layered vocal stacks repeating “panic… calm… control… breath…” with widening reverb and trailing delays.

[Verse]
Let me try explain it, let me put this on the table [yeah]
I get nervous doing normal, simple things feel unstable {unstable}
Little tasks make my hands shake, thoughts spin like a cable
But when the world gets louder round me, suddenly I'm able [mmm]
When the room is too quiet, my mind starts racing (racing)
Heart goes heavy off the smallest situation {situation}
Everyday moments hit like high vibration
But when the pressure climbs, I find my place in it {place in it}
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me breathe a little, let me settle in my skin {breathe a little}
Try to find a rhythm in the quiet closing in {pull me in}
[Chorus]
Panic hits the silence (panic), calm hits the storm (calm) {stacked}
Breath keeps me centred when my thoughts transform (just breath)
Tryna hold control when the world goes left (control) [yeah]
Panic… calm… control… breath (breath) {echo breath}
when the stillness starts to press {press}
Panic… calm… control… breath
Panic… calm… control… breath
Panic… calm… control… breath
[Verse]
Do not think I crave drama, it's not that kind of thing (no)
I just see the danger clearer than the soft and gentle ring {ring}
My pulse moves backwards, responding to what life brings
I'm peaceful in the chaos but I panic in the stillness in between {between between}
I'm learning how to name it, not pretend it's not there (nah)
Trying not to let my patterns pull me everywhere {everywhere}
Every day I push a little, try to meet peace halfway
Finding softer spaces where I still feel okay {okay okay}
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me breathe a little, let me settle in my skin {breathe a little}
Try to find a rhythm in the quiet closing in {pull me in}
[Chorus]
Panic hits the silence (panic), calm hits the storm (calm) {stacked}
Breath keeps me centred when my thoughts transform (just breath)
Tryna hold control when the world goes left (control) [yeah]
Panic… calm… control… breath (breath)
when the stillness starts to press {press}
Panic… calm… control… breath
Panic… calm… control… breath
Panic… calm… control… breath
[Verse]
I ain't trying to hide it, just showing where I stand {where I stand}
Not the version looking perfect, just the truth of who I am {who I am}
Every calm moment feels louder than a stadium of fans [louder]
So I'm naming all my triggers, learning how my body plans {plans}
Some nights I'm on top of it, some nights I lose the thread {the thread}
Feel the panic creeping in before a word's even said [mmm]
But I've stood inside the pressure with a clearer kind of head
It's the silence that unsettles, not the things most people dread {dread}
[Bridge]
I'm working on the balance, tryna move with some grace {grace}
Trying not to disappear when the quiet fills the space {fills the space}
If I step back a second, it's not you I'm trying to chase [nah]
It's me trying to calm my system before it starts to race {race race}
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me breathe a little, let me settle in my skin {breathe a little}
Try to find a rhythm in the quiet closing in {pull me in}
[Chorus](choir)
Panic hits the silence (panic), calm hits the storm (calm) {stacked}
Breath keeps me centred when my thoughts transform (just breath)
Tryna hold control when the world goes left (control) [yeah]
Panic… calm… control… breath (breath)
when the stillness starts to press {press}
Panic… calm… control… breath
Panic… calm… control… breath
Panic… calm… control… breath
[Outro] (fade-out mantra)
Panic… (panic)
Calm… (calm)
Control… (control)
Breath… (breath)
{choir layered underneath}
Panic… calm… control… breath…
Panic… calm… control… breath…
Love it!
Nice vibe
So moving
