Tasting Stars feels like a midnight drive through a city that never quite lets you breathe. Sadie Ray Hollis taps into that late-night energy on this modern pop cut, blending dark atmosphere with emotionally loaded writing that stays with you long after the last note fades.

From the opening line “Late night city haze, I’m tangled in your gaze” (0:07) the song drops you straight into its world. Neon lights, leather jackets, whispered lies that feel a little too real. The production keeps things sleek and controlled, built on layered synths and subtle electronic textures that never overcrowd the vocals. Everything feels intentional, giving Sadie’s voice room to pull you deeper into the tension.
The chorus hits like a rush of adrenaline. “We’ll crash it like thunder, baby, reckless and raw” (0:35) isn’t just a hook, it’s the emotional core of the track. There’s a constant push between desire and consequence, especially in lines like “Rooftop rebels tasting stars we haven’t earned” (1:06), which captures that dangerous kind of wanting before reality catches up.
What really sells Tasting Stars is its restraint. The arrangement never explodes just for effect. Instead, it simmers, letting the mood do the heavy lifting. By the final stretch “Hold me close when the high fades slow” (2:03) the song shifts from reckless freedom into something more fragile, more honest.
