MEMORIES was inspired by Don Dada reflecting and reminiscing on what felt like the speed of his daughter reaching high school age. The realisation of his days away on tour and acknowledging that the life of a musician is so much more complex than what is seen on stage birthed the track concept.
The production for the song was created by renowned producers super producer RApz and Rashid Lanie, utilising a deep, driving bass accompanied by melodic strings and chords that drive the song forward with a beautiful energy and infectious tempo, adding a pop feel to the song.
