100 BPM with a heavy shuffle-funk pulse rather than a straight boogie beat. The kick drum plays an uneven, rolling pattern with syncopated accents, while the snare cracks hard on the backbeat. Hi-hats alternate between tight sixteenth-note bursts and open accents, creating a constantly shifting pocket. Handclaps, woodblocks, cowbell, and percussion answer each other in layers, giving the track a street-party feel.
Instead of a smooth flowing bass line, the bass plays short, punchy phrases with lots of space, then explodes into fast melodic fills between vocal lines. Rhythm guitar works almost like a percussion instrument, playing clipped stabs and rhythmic scratches that interlock with the drums.
Clavinet drives the groove with repetitive hypnotic riffs. Electric piano punches chords on unexpected beats,
