The instrumentation is calm and classy, with a swinging mid-tempo rhythm that evokes the playful excitement of a new relationship. The lyrics, written in collaboration with Alan Marriott, tell a story of secret romance and the joy of living in the moment. Lines like “Are we having fun yet? Are we just beginning yet?” and “Let’s toast and we’ll coast through this lovely afternoon” shows the song’s carefree and romantic vibe.
The fade-out ending is a highlight of the song, leaving a lasting impression on the listener. The song’s message is clear: life is supposed to be fun, and we should enjoy the moment without chasing perfection. As Lux sings, “Why wait for a love that is true and miss what’s in front of you? Too busy to chase after perfection.”
