Which Act did you prefer? Jeremy’s Cut, or RaveTopia’s Cut?
7. Something More — Daniel Allan & XIRA
“Something More” enters like a confession that’s been sitting in the throat all day. Daniel Allan and XIRA shape the track around that restless feeling, the sense that what you have is fine, what you are is functional, but your soul is tapping the glass saying hello, we’re not done yet.
It’s not just longing in the romantic sense, either. This is ambition-longing. Meaning-longing. The title reads like a thesis statement for Act 2’s final stretch. After the confidence and motion earlier, we arrive at the question underneath all the noise, what are we actually chasing?
As Track 7, it widens the emotional frame. It takes the playlist from swagger into searching.
8. Pretty — JVKE
“Pretty” is the bright, sharp inhale after Track 7’s ache. JVKE has a knack for making pop that feels immediate, sticky melodies, clean emotional lines, and that phone-screen glow kind of intimacy where everything is intense because it’s close-up.
But “Pretty” doesn’t have to be shallow to be shiny. There’s a tension in that word. Pretty can mean adored, and it can also mean reduced, seen but not fully known. In this slot, the track plays like a mirror held up to the listener. Are we chasing connection or applause. Are we being loved or being looked at.
Track 8 keeps the pacing up while sneaking in the theme. Beauty is powerful, but it can also be a trapdoor, the kind you don’t notice until you’re already halfway through the fall and still trying to fix your hair on the way down.
9. Wood — Taylor Swift
“Wood” feels like the act’s final scene, quieter in posture, heavier in meaning, but not without a wink in the shadows. The title carries symbolism without needing to shout, wood as roots, as structure, as something that burns, something that builds, something that lasts, and something that breaks. That’s Taylor Swift territory when she’s leaning into storytelling and subtext, simple words, loaded rooms.
As Track 9, it works like a landing. Not a bleak ending, a grounded one, the kind where you stumble a little, laugh at yourself, and realize the fall was part of the choreography. After the reaching of “Something More” and the glossy tension of “Pretty,” “Wood” brings the palette back to earth with grain, knots, weight, consequence. It leaves you with the sense that Act 2 wasn’t just a run of songs, it was a movement from momentum into meaning, with a sprinkle of laughs and smiles so it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
