‘Something Special’ Synopsis by 25K:
“Something Special” is a song about being so caught up chasing your dreams that it impacts your love life & in the two verses I’m really expressing the different ways in which my love for being an artist impacts my relationship. On the bridge of the song, I’m rapping about how I want to build a life with this person & they should instead be my biggest supporter. Marcus Havery comes in on the chorus to emphasise how this love is “Something Special” & wishes it could go on forever. He also expresses that whenever his partner is feeling down, she should call him no matter the circumstances, he’ll be there for her. Lucille Slade comes in on the backing vocals to add a feminine touch & emphasis to the chorus. On the last part of the second verse, I’m apologising for making it seem like everything is all about me. “Askies I know everything is all about me…”. I feel like anyone with a passion to pursue their dreams & is in some sort of a relationship can relate to this song.
