The track captures the essence of summer perfectly, with its groovy bassline and, light twinkling piano notes accompanying the dreamy vocals. The bubbly, summery track describes the feeling of being in your crush's fantasy world, with lyrics like "Can you take me into your magical world?" that perfectly capture the story of the song.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, IIICCCYYY shared, "I wrote my parts about somebody that I was madly in love with but they didn’t know that I existed. You’re just imagining things with them. It has a summer vibe to it, with metaphors about paradise and the ocean."
The 'Habit' artist teamed up with Davao's D Waviee and IRDSCNT, both rising names in the electronic music scene in Cebu. D Waviee recently released her debut album, Epitome which showcases her versatile talents as an audio-sonic storyteller, making her a perfect collaborator on this track.
When asked about her experience working with the duo, IIICCCYYY shared, "Working with D Waviee and IRDSCNT was a dream come true. I’m very honoured because I was a fan of [D Waviee’s] stuff before she reached out to me, asking to collaborate. To be on her radar is such an honour. I hope it leads to more projects in the future.”
To match the immaculate summer vibes that the track exudes, IIICCCYYY teamed up with Nikko Tan, who directed the music video. The video was shot on location at the sunny Malapascua Island, Cebu, matching the vibe of the track perfectly. 'Upside Down' is sure to transport fans straight to a summer paradise.
