“High Hopes,” an EDM track true to the genre’s name. Starting with bits of classic techno and morphing into a dubstep-laced trance jam, the track is perhaps the EP’s most ambitious and intriguing. Liu manages to marry music and lyric perfectly, painting the picture of a woman reaching for her dreams...
[Verse 1]
High hopes
Counting all the stars that shine free
Distant echoes
Calling my name to run back home
Running so, fast my lungs can't hold
Still chasing lights as I go
[Chorus]
Never turn back, never turn back (Never going back)
Never turn back, never turn back
Never turn back, never turn back

[Chorus]
Never turn back, never turn back (Never going back)
Never turn back, never turn back (Woah)
Never turn back, never turn back
I'm still chasing lights as I go
Never turn back, never turn back
Never turn back, never turn back (Still chasing lights as I go)
Never turn back, never turn back
I'm running so fast, my lungs can't hold
[Drop]
I'm running so fast, my lungs can't hold
I'm running so fast, my lungs can't hold
They're calling my name to run back home
I'm running so fast, my lungs can't hold
I'm running so fast, my lungs can't hold
