Multi-instrumentalist/producer Tonga has been on our radar for a minute now and has been dishing out solid soundscapes that range from lo-fi, soul to boombap.

He further explains the inspiration behind the song as follows: “ For years when I would drive home, I’d park, get out of my car, and head to the front door of the house. Before going inside I would always look up and gaze at the stars, specifically looking for Orion’s Belt for some reason.
