I prefer the original over remixes, The original is more ''contained'' and I like that. Many people compares this song to Progress... to me it feels closer to We Are the Queens (with better lyrics).
I generally love melancholy, I would inject it into my veins if I could. Lol. Missing is oozing with melancholy for example. But here it just feels out of place to me. I guess it matches the lyrics but it just waters down the power and/or tension. The melody is so playful and jumps around a lot, but that background piano isn’t so much. I love that the ats mix really took advantage of the playfulness and mirrored that in his arrangement to enhance that playfulness even further.
