## Background and composition

   "I wanted those who listen to my song to feel the loneliness right from the intro and think of the old days. I believe that everyone might have had a certain someone or a remarkable moment which remains in your memories and which you would think of regularly. It is a feeling that wherever we are or whatever we encounter, we would relate it to that certain memory. The feelings of that point in time would jolt us, though we know that we can't have those moments back." — Vachirawit Chivaaree
The song is based on the real life story of Bright. He had shared that his inspiration derives from his urge to deliver a perspective on loneliness. The lyrics delve into themes of sorrow, heartache and the inability to move on. Musically, it is a R&B and soul track. The melody and musical arrangement of the song reflects a somber mood, with slow and melancholic tones that further enhance the emotional impact of the lyrics.
