"Burning Like July" is a hauntingly emotional pop track exploring the tension between love, loss, and the search for meaning in a world full of distractions. Set on a surreal island that blurs memory and desire, this song weaves vivid imagery with raw vulnerability — a tribute to a father's voice amidst the noise of everything else.

Let the fire of July echo through your heart.

Lyrics:

We landed on the island with the heat still in our lungs
Love and fire in the air, but I was coming all undone

Every wave was crashing louder than my thoughts
I heard your voice in echoes, dad, I thought you’d been lost

Now it’s burning like July inside my chest
You said, “Never fall for love that feels like death”
But I did — on this island, under lights and synths
This isn’t heaven, dad — it’s Astroworld dressed up with drinks

He kissed me like the world was ending soon
But I kept hearing your lullaby, drowning out the tune

There’s a fire in the sky, but it’s not the kind I need
Just smoke and noise and moments that won’t ever set me free

Still burning like July, still running from the sound
You told me I’d find peace — not on this battleground
This ain’t love, it’s just escape in flashing light
But I miss you more than him each summer night
