Glasgow’s The Wits share single ‘Second Thought’ - OUT NOW!
Second Thought
Ultimately “Second Thought” describes singer Seanpaul’s experiences with anxiety and relentless pressure, however we all relate to the lyrics in various ways.
Particularly in the chorus which some of us perceive as stress of the future and thoughts of failure as a creative individual.
Originally, the song came from a funk guitar riff inspired by Nile Rodgers to which fuzz guitar and a driving bass was added. Despite this, it soon developed into something with a bigger chorus and minimalistic, groove-based verses
