Lost Spaces, the one-man project of Sam Lopez, released the single on streaming platforms on September 30 via Warner Music Malaysia as his first release under the label. “It’s really a song about nostalgia and wanting to escape from the pains of the real world, emphasised in the lines of the chorus; ‘just let me stay in this daydream,‘” Lopez explained in a press statement.

Lopez elaborated further in a Twitter post announcing the single, writing: “Wrote this at a time where I was really down and out, and was dreaming of escape via my older memories. kinda poetic that it’s the first track I drop for the new cycle.”

Earlier this year in August, he joined FORCEPARKBOI‘s Nakalness, Chronicalz and social media personality-turned-singer Luqman Podolski at Indonesian rapper Ramengvrl‘s Kuala Lumpur showcase at The Bee in Publika.
