    Naïka’s background story on the whistling came up on my fyp on tiktok with a sample of this song and immediately became a new fan. Such a memorable story. Bonus that the beat is so catchy! 🥰
    Also so much serotonin from:
    Every time’s a new time
    Never been a blue time
    Now I got a new shine ✨

      @@inactive7167 the whistle you hear at the beginning of the song is from naika's great-uncle, her mom found the recording at her grandpa's house if I'm not mistaken, and she made a song and dedicated it to him (for gerard). There's a tiktok where she talks about it

    Lyrics
    Baby, it's nearly July
    Talk about it day and night
    Can't believe we made it by
    Got me up before the light
    So alive
    And boy I crave it more and more
    The way you come and reassure me
    Can't remember who I was before you
    Possibly naive and insecure
    Darling, you're so good
    Every time's a new time
    Never been a blue time
    Now I got a new shine
    You're my blood and my world
    From a slow wine, tell me where to co-sign
    I just feel so lucky in your arms
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Telling me it's all calm
    Oh baby, oh baby
    I feel so lucky in your arms
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Telling me it's all calm
    Oh baby, oh baby
    You bring me outta my shell
    Baby, you shell
    In a two-star little gritty motel 'round the corner
    Flickering lights
    Danced like the rhythm in my heart when I saw ya
    Oh baby, baby, yeah, you see me
    Better than anybody like family
    You keep me high on my toes
    In them FILA's you chose
    Oh, you're so good to me
    Every time's a new time
    Never been a blue time
    Now I got a new shine
    You're my blood and my world
    From a slow wine, tell me where to co-sign
    I just feel so lucky in your arms
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Telling me it's all calm
    Oh baby, oh baby
    I feel so lucky in your arms
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Telling me it's all calm
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Oh, we won't turn it, won't turn it down
    Won't turn it, won't turn it down
    Oh, we won't turn it, won't turn it down
    We won't turn it down
    Oh, we won't turn it, won't turn it down
    Won't turn it, won't turn it down
    Oh, we won't turn it down
    I just feel so lucky in your arms
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Telling me it's all calm
    Oh baby, oh baby
    I feel so lucky in your arms
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Telling me it's all calm
    Oh baby, oh baby
