“ott” captures the dizzy rush of a crush that feels a little too much, as the narrator admits they have “no time to think” and keep getting pulled deeper into their feelings every time this person smiles at them. over a bright, bouncing pop track, they follow their racing heart instead of logic, confessing that this love is “way too good” and impossible to control, even when it leaves them breathless and exhausted. by the end, “ott” turns that overwhelming emotion into a playful promise — they’ll keep falling in love, over and over, choosing their own feelings without holding back.
