about

This is a feel-good track co-written with Stephen Hoy and Natalie Taylor while on a songwriting bootcamp a lifetime ago in Malaga. It is about someone who is on the up and feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong as pieces of their life have finally slotted into place.
It features a jazzy drum beat, whistled hooks, keys, strings, guitars and female vocals.

To coincide with the song's release and to tie in with the aspirational line 'I'll sip cocktails with a shot of sunrise served at my place at Malibu Beach', a geocache travelbug is slowly making its way to Malibu Beach having started its journey in north London.

lyrics

Lately I’ve been going places
Friendly faces are all I see
Good times moonlight’s never wasted
There’s no-one else I’d rather be

Whenever I post
I just get likes and downloads
Nothing seems to hold me back
Life’s working out

And I’m on the right track
Got me a hashtag
Watch me build my wonderland
Cos I’m on the right track, on the right track, the right track

Making plans that take me higher
I’m on fire, I love this heat, I’ll sip
Cocktails with a shot of sunrise
Served at my place on Malibu Beach

Whatever I post
I know the world will follow
Nothing’s gonna hold me back
Life’s working out

This time I know I’m… Chorus 2

I’m at my best, got finesse, never see me break no sweat or catch my breath or lose my head
I’m at my best, got finesse, never see me break no sweat or catch my breath – I'm hashtag Red
I’m at my best, got finesse, never see me break no sweat or catch my breath or lose my head
I’m at my best, got finesse, never see me break no sweat or catch my – ahhhhhhh
Cos I’m on the right track….

Cos I’m on the right track
Got me a hashtag
Watch me build my wonderland
Cos I’m on the right track, on the right track, the right track
Cos I’m on the right track
Got me a hashtag
Watch me build my wonderland
Cos I’m on the right track, on the right track, the right track/she’s hashtag Red.

Behind Closed Doors LP
by Kira Neris

LOVE the jazz references and style. Makes me feel destressed, tipsy and somehow glamorously chic even though I'm only listening. I'll never tire of listening to this music. Red As Ruby

A Frozen Second LP
by Kira Neris

I couldn't believe it when I then heard this LP too. Absolutely love the chilled feel of the music and the way the sounds have been put together. Artist envy for the vibe that Kira Neris creates! Red As Ruby
