“Butterflies” by ema sid is an intimate, heartfelt exploration of love that teeters on the edge of pain and passion. Recorded in her home studio with producer Luke Matthew, the song carries authenticity and vulnerability. It opens with delicate, strumming guitars and sets a soft and introspective tone. Ema’s high, gentle voice floats over the instrumentation with dripping vulnerability as she sings about her fluttering emotions of love.
“Butterflies” builds in intensity, with hard-thumping drums ramping up the tension, much like the sensation of love rising uncontrollably in the heart. By the chorus, the vibrant pulse of the music matches the exhilaration of being in love, even when it’s destructive. Ema’s vocals soar as she conveys the bittersweet feeling of being caught between love and heartbreak, making the listener feel the tension between holding on and letting go.
Musically, the song sticks to the simplicity of four basic pop chords, but it’s the layered instrumentals that bring out the emotional weight. The sonic atmosphere is designed to evoke the “butterfly in the stomach” sensation, capturing both the excitement and the anxiety of love.
Ema calls “Butterflies” one of her most personal songs, and the vulnerability she expresses makes it deeply relatable. Listen to her latest single on Spotify and feel the hopelessly romantic and lovesick Butterflies rising with you as well.
