“Location” didn’t start as a song – it started as pure feeling translated into sound. I was posted up at this sunset spot I’d been gravitating toward lately, just vibing with my setup as the light started to shift. There’s something about that golden hour energy that makes beats write themselves, you know? The rhythm emerged organically from the environment – the waves, the breeze, maybe even my own heartbeat slowing down as the day faded. I kept tweaking the tempo, pitching elements up and down until I found that sweet spot where everything locked in. By the time I had the foundation right, the sun had completely disappeared, but somehow that felt perfect. The track needed that transition from light to dark, from day to night energy.

As I sat there in the growing darkness, the location itself started speaking to me on a different level. This spot, this vibe – it reminded me of how connection happens in our world sometimes. Those moments when you’re in the right place and everything just aligns, when someone appears on your radar in a way that feels both surprising and inevitable. The image that wouldn’t leave my head was that red pin dropping on a map – that moment of “here, this is where you need to be.” That’s when the hook crystallized: “SOLO ON THAT FULL RED PIN, COME AND HEAD TO MY LOCATION.” It was like the beat had been waiting for those exact words. I titled the track right there in the moment – “Location” – because it captured everything: the physical space, the emotional coordinates, the invitation to find each other.

The funny thing is, I wasn’t even home yet when the rest of the chorus hit me like lightning. I’m driving back, still processing what had just happened at that spot, when suddenly the complete lyrical picture flooded in. I had to literally pull over because I’m forgetful as fuck and knew I’d lose it if I didn’t capture it immediately. The full chorus spilled out in this rush of clarity – all those feelings about beauty, confidence, and magnetic attraction that had been brewing finally found their words. Recording everything here on the island was a departure from my usual studio setup, but it felt right to keep the whole creative process rooted in this place. I’m still figuring out the technical side without proper monitors, so if the mix sounds off, blame my makeshift island studio situation – but honestly, there was something about staying true to where it all began that felt more important than perfect acoustics.
