The production on "Closer" is courtesy of Ante, a producer Ray trusts implicitly. "Shout out to Ante @miabstract!" she says. The track’s production features a blend of smooth melodies and hard-hitting beats that perfectly match Ray’s flow.
Themes and Lyrics
"Closer" is all about feeling good and connecting with the audience. Ray Moon highlights a standout lyric, "She’s so different, black sheep / Glad that I got on my feet!" This line encapsulates the song’s empowering message of self-discovery and triumph over adversity.
